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

[jalavoui]

Here are some 715 logs.

the driver loads very unstable - won't work this way
try to hack the iosleep() var
boot with -s and call networkselector to start a scan
move networkselector.app from xcode project folder to /
them type
kextload /iwi3945.kext
wait... for it to load
you'll get lots of debug messages
./networkselector
press the option to scan and press enter

i see a mistake on a kp picture
after boot with -s
you need to type sh /etc/rc for mac os to load
them wait for it to finish
and type kextload /iwi3945.kext

i'm still no shure but my guess in code is that driver scanning is independent of station scanning
i.e., the station scan only ocurs after the station is associated

ok.
i got testing with IOSleep(500)

got kp as soon as i start scanning.

i heres the syslog.

Hey,

Excellent instructions. I used the -s method, but "sh /etc/rc" doesn't work. Tells me file or folder not found or something like that. any other ideas? (running 10.5.2) I did the kextload anyway, took a picture of it. Did a scan, complained that the card was not ready.

Oh, and no KP after almost 10 mins and several scans. I didn't adjust the iosleep from the project at all.

[ulyanov77]

the driver is very close to start working

This is very exciting to hear. Thanks for all of everyone's hard work!

system.log from driver start please
maybe you get lucky with the scan
as anyone tryed to patch the code?

[lastsoft]

jalavoui.
i got it on -s it got stack as soon as it scans.

i forgot - IOSLEEP(5000)

[mlazy]

Jalavoui,

That's just it, I don't see anything in the system.log about the single user boot. Also, /etc/rc was dropped in favor of launchd for 10.5. I'll try again now.

[jalavoui]

i'll try a hack and upload to svn

[mlazy]

Yeah, There's a "black hole" in my system log while I'm in sigle user mode. But, I did score a kernel panic while exiting netselector after loading and scanning with it.

iwi3945 rel 716
add iosleep fix and auto-scan
don't need networkselector the scan should start auto
try a few reboots if you get a kp
you can try to put iwi3945.kext in system/library/preferences (fix permissions)
and add it to system preferences -> network
the card must be recognized by mac os x before it start to work
and you need to unplug all other network connections before testing iwi3945

[nazrm]

Great job so far jalavoui (and other testers + developers)!! Ill see if I can start testing aswell

[jalavoui]

why are you all connected to this thread?
disconnect and go test iwi3945

[imwithalwood]

I'm trying my best to test but I guess im doing something wrong. Anyways I opened terminal and did svn checkout to get all the files. clicked on the .dmg file to install it and then restarted. When i restarted i checked my network in preferences (nothing new) and then clicked on network selector in my applications. i got this: Last login: Tue Apr 15 16:58:28 on ttys000
/Applications/networkSelector ; exit;
benny-lavas-mac-pro:~ Benn$ /Applications/networkSelector ; exit;
Unhandled transform (1) for ioctl group = 78 (N), number = 3, length = 100
Illegal instruction
logout

[Process completed]

anyways I did the get logs command and ill post them, they prolly wont help though because it seems like i did it wrong. No KP btw.

imwithalwood,

you need to delete the old .dmg
after choose build in xcode to create a new one
xcode place iwi3945.kext on /
to test
reboot
kextload /iwi3945.kext

mlazy,
thanks for your hard work testing my bugs


iwi3945 rel 717
the driver is very unstable when first loading
maybe this make it work better
initial bugs from last log shows it is not working

there's still lots of things to test
we need more people posting logs
i can always use someone with ideas to patch the source code

what's missing:
make the driver do stable scans
get probe responses from open networks
associate
get an ip address
this is all very easy to do - don't worry

please post initial drive log lines

if you get this in logs
error iwl3945: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x82000008.
better reboot and test again
the driver recover from this error but it fails working correctly if initial startup fails

Thank you. now i can test and post results

No Problem, you are the one doing all of the work. Thanks for working on this project, I'm just happy to help. Are you doing this just for the challenge? I know you are on an imac G3, so what's the angle for you?

[jalavoui]

i've just changed the xcode script to fix permissions for /iwi3945.kext
it should load the driver nicely

i don't remember the svn rel version

yaps - i must be crazy for writting code for a card i don't have

to know how to help posting logs - read few pages back

zzzz... waiting for logs

hey! what about people who really want to help this project, but has a f....g small version of leo, and doesn't have xcode, or a {censored} compiler to build the driver? (is it my fault? I can compile on linux.. should be the same!)
I'm looking to this post every day for a compiled version to try it and post my KPs. tell me one thing, am I losing my time 'cause if I don't compile it on my pc it's useful? or what?
thanks for aswering. and sincerely for the project..
