<br />althought there are other ways to check a kernel panic<br />you can help by taking a screen picture of it<br />todo so:<br />press F8 before boot<br />type -s<br />...<br /><br />the driver can work in mac os x 10.4 with small changes<br />if you have xcode i can help<br />i'm using mac os x 10.4 to write the code <img src="style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><br />

<br /><br /><br />

I will attempt to find xcode then.

[jalavoui]

i've counted 55 people here
at least 1 of you can build iwi3945.dmg and post it here
hope so

deam...
iwidarwin will be out for maintance by google
i've put the link to the dmg but it's old and for ppc machines

[mlazy]

ok, back from my meeting. (sorry the full time job gets in the way)

went to single user mode, loaded the kext, got this:

 737singleuser.jpg ( 136.59K ) Number of downloads: 37


Now, I'm going to try and figure out why I can't build the dmg in xcode...... hold tight ppl!

[Ruud]

oke, i will try to create the dmg atm

sorry if this is a noob question, but should the dmg be build when i build the whole project in xcode? This isn't happening here so should i do somthing else to build a dmg?

instructions for testing: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=71779
waiting for dmg, ill try to help

I am downloading Xcode 2.5 now.

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

Here's the logs from my Gateway Centrino Duo Laptop--the 737 Kext is showing up as an unplugged ethernet port in the network prefs--no KP in 20 minutes and counting...

Jalavoui, what do I need to change to modify this for testing on 10.4.6?

[jalavoui]

this was a kp by manual loading
if iwi3945.kext is in system/library/extensions
after boot with -s it should auto load
in mac os x 10.4 you need to type sh /etc/rc for os x to boot and load extensions
is there a way to do this in mac os x 10.5?
if you load iwi3945.kext before mac os boot it will not work
can you try boot with -v -> maybe you can get a kp picture

does the driver allways panic after each reboot?

jayman30,
to test the driver unplug from other networks first

iwi3945 howto build for mac os x 10.4
- open iwi3945.xcodeproj with finder
- in compatibility.cpp you have the info.plist data for os x 10.4. copy and replace it in info.plist
- in defines.h uncomment the mutx_xxx definitions (last file lines) remove /* and */
- in compatibility.h - comment mutx_xx functions (use /* and */)
- double click in xcode on the blue iwi3945 icon - change in separator build - cross develop..." to current os"
- open networkselector.xcodeproj with finder and repeat last step
- go back to iwi3945 in xcode and press build
- if you like to build the .dmg, first delete it with finder. press build - repeat until you get the .dmg - sometimes the script fails
- after each build the script puts iwi3945.kext in system/library/extensions
- reboot to test the driver
if you get errors in build them you're doing something wrong

getting closer!

[mtheory]

I'm still waiting for someone to upload the .dmg
In the meantime, I'll reinstall Kalyway 10.5.2 on the laptop to have a clean slate to test on.

Jalavoui, and everyone else, I am super excited about the progress being made, and would love to help, but I only have a 4965. And, I don't have the developing skills required to start editing 3945. If someone else does, then I will be glad to test that. In fact, I would be eccentric too. So, once Jalavoui gets the 3945 stable, and updates 4965, I will be ALL FREAKING OVER IT.

Cheers until then, and keep up the good work! I'm serious, the progress is amazing, and I can't wait to start testing. Once the 4965 is in testing condition, let me know!!!

[SuperInsanity]

Tried mlazy's kext just in case mine was messed.

It loads fine, I can use networkSelector to toggle it on and off, but as soon as I choose option 2 (scan) the system freezes.

I deleted the existing Ethernet in Network Prefs, but after I loaded the kext I had to manually add the iface. It added as en0.

Do I need to have SVN to get the code? Is there another way to access the project?

[mlazy]

Jalavoui,

I followed the steps in your description, did the build, and all I ever get is files in build folder of the project itself. I've never gotten a dmg to appear. This has to be an xcode 3.1 vs. older versions difference. What the hell am I doing wrong? When I build a project in debug and/or release mode, I get a build folder that looks like this:

 build.png ( 156.81K ) Number of downloads: 57


I've been reading and googling it, but most references mention a pkg target rather than a kext. Damn, I'm so out of my element. Just a good tester unfortunately.

[ulyanov77]

Well, I made an attempt --but after the uninstall it seems that my computer is responding rather slowly. Oh well, maybe it will resolve itself?

if you don't get errors in build the the .dmg is created in iwi3945_new-osx10.5 folder
have you deleted the old one before press build?
it's as simple as this
you can manually type the script commands in a console to see if they work
just cd to the main iwi3945 folder -> iwi3945_new-osx10.5

[SuperInsanity]

Update.

Uninstalled driver, rebuilt, installed, enabled, rebooted.

System freezes within seconds.

Log from boot attached.


Thanks for all the hard work so far, there is some clear progress. Hopefully we'll get it soon!!

Thanks, I found a tutorial that may get me through it. stay tuned.
