once i make the inital routines the driver will work
maybe i can do it today
need inital driver system.log lines
tip:
after boot and using kextload /iwi3945.kext
goto system preferences -> network
make shure you have the en1 interface recognized - the driver don't work without this
important: don't install from iwi3945.dmg - xcode will build from svn and place iwi3945.kext on /
networkselector don't work at this time

wait...
i'll fix the xcode project and upload to svn

ok done for all iwi drivers
updated iwi2100, iwi2200 10.4/10.5 and iwi3945
in mac os x 10.5 i've add the option to build against /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk
in mac os x 10.4 i've put it to build agains current os version
i need someone to upload the .dmg for iwi2200 10.4 and 10.5

you should all see this system.log as an example how to help debuging the driver

can you explain this?
en1: RX Probe Response from 00:90:4c:7e:00:6e to 00:19:d2:ac:3c:fa
are this the mac address of your card and of a station near by?
really nice log

[mlazy]

Thanks Jalavoui, let me know if I can help in any other way. Here's logs for 713.

as for building the 2100 and 2200 dmg's, do you just need the projects complied on a 10.5 box? Not sure I understand what you mean, but still happy to help. (And I only have the 3495 of course)

[odessamarin]

iwi2200
i know you like to have more features
i can help making new code but i need someone with this card and code abilities to help
the WPA code needs to be implemented
the nsgui can have code for hidden essid, store passwords, etc

But apart from the new features, is it something to do to avoid crash of the system.. freezing?

Thank you.

PS. If I can help.. I have mini-pci 2200BG in my thinkpad T30. And 10.4.11

i'm getting confused by the driver...
looks like it sends scan cmd at start?
at this point anyone can try some hacks in code to make it more stable
this is another atempt
AND
stop posting system.log without inital drive log lines
please!

[grrantry]

I don't understand how to get this to Dl and work??

Never compiled anything before and all of that

Soory for being a newb

Hey, this message might get ignored because you guys are so close to getting the driver working but if someone can tell me where exactly do we get the files to load the kext? I've been asleep at the switch so sorry in advance. lol

I want to help out and post kp.

[mlazy]

ok, rebooted and captured syslog during startup.

build 714

Gahca: you need SVNX, Xcode, and free time to test. thre's a guide like 10 posts back.

[jalavoui]

lol
i'm reading the logs

iwi3945 rel 715
in this release you need to use networkselector option for scaning. other options don't work
try it if you get the driver running stable - i think a reboot can make it stay stable
before start scanning open console to see system.log
press networkselector option for start scanning
see if it works in system.log
if it starts scanning close networkselector

one very easy thing do to in xcode
in file iwi3945.cpp
in functions start()
there's this line:
IOSleep(1000);//hack
this gives a delay to try to make the driver stable
try this values: 500, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000
see if the driver gets more stable
i can do this but i think there's no point in posting 5 releases for testing
i'll come back later to see logs/reports
thanks

ps:
on the iosleep line there's this code:
while (!iwlready((struct iwl3945_priv*)get_my_hw()->priv))
if you can make this work it's better tham use iosleep (can remove iosleep it if it works)
i can't figure out what's the bug on it

[mlazy]

more fun on a 2nd reboot (KP'ed while posting last time)

Here is the website to go to for Information, and where to download the Drivers.

[jalavoui]

TNW,
the driver is very close to start working
if you have time to check the code
i think you can easily make it work

[mlazy]

Here are some 715 logs. It KP'ed just after I started a scan with netowrk selector. I'll build this version and attach thefiles in a bit for others to play too.
