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

[Gahca]

Alright boys, I'm really new at this so here it goes...

I managed to load the iwi3945.kext but I immediately get a kernel panic and cannot do anything. I can't turn on the card either to see if it works. I have logs from when I booted with -x but they might be pointless since the card is not on. Am I doing something wrong and how do you turn on the card so then you can make the proper logs?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

v724 for testing: for 3945 not 2200
[attachment=25683:iwi3945v724.kext.zip]

Use 724 please. Jalavoui is the fastest developer ever.

[odessamarin]

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

Sorry, but where to get them.. is it updated section of stable driver or it is on SVN Latest section. How to check what version do i have at the moment and what version is available. I'm confused... can't see it in FAQ. Need a little help.

thx

[jalavoui]

if you get this:
"com.apple.iokit.IO80211Family" =
"A valid compatible version of this dependency cannot be found"
better reinstall mac os x or resintall IO80211Family

anyone as figured out why the driver is unstable at first load?

ok - i'll go back to rel 713 and try to figure it out

i'll post a new release to svn soon

can someone test it?

iwi3945 rel 725
updated in svn tree and ready for testing
i only need to see first driver log lines - this mean you only need to test it for 1 minute and post system.log
if you get errors try a few reboots
the driver must starttup without bugs or it will never work

iwi2200
new code for os x 10.4/5 is in svn tree only - need to build it and test

snv checkout
some time ago i also get errors commiting to svn tree
might be goggle problem - but after a few retryes it work

righteye,
you've got the wrong address for svn link
copy right link from iwidarwin site

and i get this:

svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/trunk/iwi3945_new-osx10.5': 502 Bad Gateway (http://iwidarwin.googlecode.com)

I do something wrong ?

[jalavoui]

this link works for me
http://iwidarwin.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/...45_new-osx10.5/

it's just another google bug

iwi3945 rel 726
if this is the reason for the driver don't work i'll kill myself

Hey all,

Played with iosleep a bunch last night, no luck. 3000 seems to be the sweet spot to keep things running for about 8 mins. Off to build the latest. See you all soon.

[Megnus]

This is so exiting

[mlazy]

OK,

This is cool. check the logs Jalavoui. I manually kextloaded, got the attached log. Then I tempted fate and rebooted with it in my extensions folder.......hard lock up on boot with no logs. sigh. How's it look to you?

A stupid question...
What's the IOSleep hack for? A timeout for what?

It looks like he fixed it. It WAS a setting in the code that we were testing.

[FurmanSK]

Alright i got xcode for 10.5.2. Now what files do i need to compile the 2200 drivers from the svn tree? Sorry for not knowing lol. Thanks for any help.

What I'm thinking is i'll just download them all and just compile and load.

Furman, I'm using SVNX to grab a read only copy and build it. Here's the link:

http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/24158

Then I added the repo within SVNX:

http://iwidarwin.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

Then, open the project and build away..

HI, sorry for my bad english....
i've tested iwi3945v726.kext osx freezed 15 sec after booting. i'm a noob so i hope to have copied the right part of the log. i hope it can be useful.

Thanks man but got a question. I see your using SVNX in Mac so you have wired net right? See don't have that i'm having to go from WinXP to Mac back and forth lol so yeah time consuming. So is there a way to download it on windows XP and transfer it to Mac?

Thanks guys

Furman,I think your best bet would be to use an SVN app in windows to DL the code, then compile the project in OSX. should be pretty easy to do. (hopefully)

This is perfcet, and matches mine almost exactly. Thanks! you can also manually load the kext so you don't have to install and reboot to test if you want.

thanks, but i don't know how to load it manually so ....
if you have some other version to test i'll do it. it's very interesting.....
