iwi3945 rel 677
scan fixes
the driver seems to have qeue_xx bugs
don't autoload the driver
use kextload - i need to see all log lines to understand it
better test with boot -s and post the kp picture
i do know sometimes the driver is stable - it's up to you to test and check the logs

i think i find the bug for the unstable load - i'll put the code in svn
wait...
ok done
iwi3945 rel 678
ready for testing

TNW,
can you help testing/writting code?

Who is TNW?

Wow I was too busy the past few days, and now we've got an relatively stable kext. 10 minutes passed by before the KP happened.
Keep up the good work, jalavoui!

After the latest major steps forward into creating decent drivers for the much wanted intel wifi adapters we got built in, bought and otherwise own.
There has been made a dedicated irc channel to speed things up, get better feeback and overall control over this magnificent progress

I figured it would be a better chance to get the logs, Kp-screenshots and improve communication between the creators and supporters.
The irc channel is called #intelwifi
and is found inside:

irc.moofspeak.net

if you need a mIRC client get it here: Colloquy for Mac or mIRC for Windows

great work everyone! you can also use the a java IRC here: http://www.jwirc.com/chat.html

iwl3945 rel 679
looks like the driver is scanning
to see what's wrong i've enabled full debug output
by some reason i can't see in logs the driver is restarting and causing a kp

please use kextload to test this (after boot mac os x)
them goto console and use reload to get ALL system.log lines from driver start
copy and past to a text file
zip it and upload here
otherwise i don't understand what the driver is doing
check Sousuke last log
if you don't get similiar log reboot, use kextload and try again

[yeye]

hello,
I can't test since I have a 4965agn but i would like to say one thing: THANKS FOR ALL JALAVOUI
Thanks to the tester too!

I hope to see the driver working in a few days!

I'll reboot and test. Please wait for the results

679 KP screenshot. I hadn't managed to get dmesg messages.One time I had something like Sousuke had in his dmesg, but that process didn't stopped, and I tried to kextunload it :)Another one didn't included dumps, but lots of strings "nic held" or smth like that.Here is the screenshot of its end  __1047___1086___1073___1088_173.jpg ( 446.77K ) Number of downloads: 37
I've discovered one more interesting thing. Seems like of card was enabled from somewhere else it begins scan and KPs over some time.If it's disabled, it gives the result as in my previous screens. So I think KP isn't in scan procedure

iwi3945 rel 680

the driver as no rate routines!!
it will never work without this
i've add new file to the project to fix it
i don't know if you'll get symbols errors

I think we could have done without the glare :/ But whatever

try to add rc80211_simple.c to the project:
- right click on "added code"
->Add -> Existing file
it's in main iwi3945 folder

anyone can build ?

ok...

iwi3945 rel 681
canged xcode proj

[glorybox]

Added file, new error:
_IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF
undefined symbol


Fixed that in working copy.
added #define IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF(dev) netdev_priv(dev)
to defines.h

If you add me to project, I can commit.


UPDATE: about 15 mins of loaded kext, no KP

[jalavoui]

added #define IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF(dev) netdev_priv(dev)

pm with your gmail account so i can add you to the iwidarwin project

iwi3945 rel 682
looks like the rate new file isn't call after all... - i'll leave it for now
changed debug level to check kp. it nows show all lines after using kextload
ieeeopen is causing the kp - need to check all calls inside this. this can't be hacked the driver works based on this code. can you try to fix this?

I'll try. I'm not sure I understand all calls structure though.
