Ignore this... building 737 now.

mlazy,
maybe after you build you can commit the .dmg to svn
this will help others to test
if you do so please fix the link in the main iwidarwin page

your log doesn't show en1 working - maybe a few reboots?

will do. Still trying to get full dmg to build. stay tuned.

[SuperInsanity]

can someone else help with logs
mlazy is the only one working here

I guess he's not so lazy!


Anyway, I'd love to get some logs, but so far my system hangs everytime, just as I'm trying to do so. (Trying with the iwi3945 drivers)

The last revision I checked out and installed was 735 I think, it booted up fine, and then freeze after a few seconds, before I can get any useful info.

[mlazy]

Build 737 kext. will build dmg soon. Going down for reboot to get new data for Jalavoui.

if you get a kp
boot with -s
post the picture
to test the driver unplug all other network connections first

737 logs:

waiting for the kp...

[jalavoui]

en1 isn't comming up
waht do you have in ifconfig?
try this:
remove iwi3945.kext
reboot
remove en1 from system preferences -> network
reboot
install iwi3945.kext in extensions
load it
goto sys prefs -> network
click apply if you get a new en1 device
see system.log

good kp - boot with -s and check last log lines before kp

[mlazy]

NEW SYMPTOM:

Load kext, no problem, see logs above. Go into network prefs to apply new interface, immediate lock up on pressing apply. got a picture of the syslog in the bg, kinda grainy, can you see it? It's definately starting a scan, but it panics before the log is even written to file. I got lucky and it showed in my tail -f in the background.

best kp i ever seen - shows driver scanning
you should all test the driver with boot -s
if the driver as reached here it will be very easy to make it work
first working version will only be able to associate to unsecure networks
but i guess you all be happy with it

where's the .dmg?
i'd like to see this working on other iwi3945 cards - might work better

maybe you'd like to open console -> system.log before clicking "apply" in sys prefs

one old advice:
the driver fails if radio is off
one way to fix this is go to windows - turn the card on
tehm reboot to mac os x

[mlazy]

en1 isn't comming up
waht do you have in ifconfig?
try this:
remove iwi3945.kext
reboot
remove en1 from system preferences -> network
reboot
install iwi3945.kext in extensions
load it
goto sys prefs -> network
click apply if you get a new en1 device
see system.log

good kp - boot with -s and check last log lines before kp

I'll try this now.

[SuperInsanity]

Here's the last bit of my system.log before the freeze.

Kinda makes we wonder if I'm installing correctly because of the Xcode errors...?

this is not a show
why is everybody online without posting logs?

SuperInsanity,
this ocurs when the driver gets errors on initial load
i have no way to fix this for now
best thing to do is try a few reboots to check if you can load it without errors
this is why i need other logs - iwi3945 are not all the same, some work better tham others

iwi4965
if you have xcode you can use iwi3945 code to start hacking - just need to change a few things
this will be the best iwidarwin driver when it's ready

Sorry about watching this jalavoui, without helping atm. Im keeping me informed about this because I have the 4965agn. And Im trying to understand everything so i can help when the development of that driver is starting.


allready installed xcode, and have little c++ knowledge, but do i need to look at the 3945 files or those 4965 files?

Okay, I'll try that...I'm running out of free time for that right now...I'll post results later.

Oh, and what's the best way to get logs if the system keeps hanging before I can do anything useful. Still a little new to all the Mac ins and outs but pretty familiar with BSD so it's not completely foreign.

I can read the logs from my Windows system using HFSExplorer too, which helps since I can't access the Inet (the wired lan is a broadcom that doesn't work in Os X either. ) from my Hackint0sh, so the constant rebooting to get to each system becomes time-consuming. However, the system layout is a little different than what I'm use to, so I'm not sure to find all the relavent info. I've been looking in /private/var/log, is this correct? Any other places I should look?

[truongsg]

Sorry! I want to post log but I dont know where can I get Kext file?

[mtheory]

I'm waiting for mlazy to post up the .dmg, because all the other methods I keep trying draw up a blank.

The 737 Kext is: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...st&id=25731

<br />this is not a show<br />

Sorry, my only machine that I record on is a 10.4 HP nc8430, and I cannot afford to blow it up right now. I will test iF you wish, but I have been watching for months now.....

[jalavoui]

althought there are other ways to check a kernel panic
you can help by taking a screen picture of it
todo so:
press F8 before boot
type -s
...

the driver can work in mac os x 10.4 with small changes
if you have xcode i can help
i'm using mac os x 10.4 to write the code

[allingdk]

Hay. I would also like to help out, but im a total n00b at least when it comes to Mac's, so im also waiting for the .dmg file from mlazy.
