Intel Wireless 2100, 2200bg, 2915bg, 3945abg, 4965agn, IWIDarwin drivers for mac os x 10.4 and 10.5 *under development* Options

[jalavoui]

I've got Intel PRO/Wireless 2100. Is the source code still being worked on for this card? If so I'm willing to test.

shure i'd like to make this card work
the svn code is for mac os x 10.4 only

iwi3945
the .dmg i've put in the svn tree is for ppc computer
TNW - can you replace it?
the driver seems to be scanning but there's to much debug messages - need to change the debug parameter...

there's a bug in ieee80211_register_hwmode() - i'll upload the fix to svn

ok done rel 662

can someone test this?
i'm expecting less debug output in this release

Hi all,
I know that this is not a working driver but I'd just like to know if you can receive data. this is just to know if we're close to our goal...
Any idea of the % that you guys have done in the development of the driver?


Thanks again and GOOD LUCK!!

[macgirl]

Ok I am lost LOL I am total noob here is there an easier way?

Easier way for what?

Be specific.

[Gmarco]

Anyway, there's a dmg uploded in the cvs, you can get it from here: http://iwidarwin.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/...0.5/iwi3945.dmg , i havent tested it, but was added in the last revision, so it must be the lastest build. Remember its not the working driver, its just a test!, if you install it be aware, you may get a nice KP.

i installed the package contained in iwi3945.dmg ... but nothing changed in networks, no wireless adapter appeared

Hey All,

My internet works in safe mode, no problem. I have an intel 3945. When i boot into normal mode, no good. Anybody know how to fix this? Thanks!

Just to reiterate- as im sure you know, we appreciate your work!

How close are we? Think we can get it working?

Odd, when i installed the kext file manually it caused KP's but it would show up in my network preference's and I could turn it off and on. When I installed using the DMG provided, it wouldn't show up in my network preference's and the network program wouldn't work at all. Screen caps attached.

With rev 662 I'm also getting a kp. Logs are attached.

As before, loading the kext under single user mode, the debug messages stop flooding after approx. 3mins and keeps printing some "iwl3945_hw_reg_txpower_get_temperature" messages for one 1min (screenshot 1). After that it panicks (screenshot 2).

kernel panic from rev 663

[dab77]

ok, my first try..

thanks Sousuke for comprehensible explanations! (sorry I've never used macOS before..)
!
I only could kextload the file after having moved the dir with the file in /. think it's normal..

in the network tools i can select en1, but cannot ping my router ip.
tryed to run /networSelector, could see the menù, but how do I know if the selections in the menù works?
for example, hitting 1 the card should go ON, but when I go into the network selection, I don't see it's on. also if i type ifconfig.

is there any other command I could try?
also tryed to put a working ip instead of DHCP, but notingh happens.
after 10 minutes the system stops, without any KP. I just can't move my mouse anymore..

is there a kind of 'ctrl+alt+F1' as on linux?

here are my logs.
iwi 3945 vers was 660.

p.s. tell me one thing please: since I don't have xcode on my installation, I have to wait for someone to compile a kext every new ver.?

thanks. I'm happy to do what I can for developing. good job guys!

kernel panic from rev 663

if you get this them the driver is start working
looks like the panic occurs when the driver finish scanning and try to associates to the network


iwi3945 rel 664
ok - try this one
it's better to test this by booting with -s

[y2kkirb]

rev 664
when i booted with "-s" i got a panic



when i booted regularly and loaded it with kextload i was able to get logs, the card did show up in the network utility

need more logs for iwi3945

i think i get waht's wrong in the driver:

the iwl3945_mac_xxx functions aren't called
the driver need some of this functions to be correctly configured
i don't know if i can fix this without the card...

my guess is pci_register_driver() is wrong
it should have some of the code from ieee80211_open()

ok -i'll try this and upload to the svn tree

done

iwi3945 rel 665
i've added ieee80211_open()
this will make other functions to start working
i think i'll need TNW to make this work

[dab77]

tried 664, but since I don't have xcode, I did with .dmg, but Installation doesn't go as with kext.. these are two output i had problems with. can you tell me what I've done wrong?thanks.tried 664, but since I don't have xcode, I did with .dmg, but Installation doesn't go as with kext.. these are two output i had problems with. can you tell me what I've done wrong?thanks.
