if you don't get errors in build the the .dmg is created in iwi3945 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

Too bad, I get errors everytime, so no .dmg to share.

[jalavoui]

righteye,
can you post the system.log? use reload in console to get all driver log lines

what errors do you get when pressing build in xcode?

to get source code you only need the svn for mac os x -> google for it

this is the place where xcode place the .dmg
to build a new one just delete this one
that's all

this are the errors when first bild the driver [attachment=25763:build_errors.rtf]

[jalavoui]

I thought might be helpful but do not know why didn't upload in the first place ... Sorry

you can see in system.log that the driver on first log lines fails to start
this mean it's not working
maybe a few reboots and you can get a "good startup ? - see mlazy kp picture
the driver need to load ok - this is the way to make the scan work
i'll upload to svn a version without the scan call
to call scan use networkselector
wait...

ok done iwi3945 rel 738
before call scan in networkselector check system.log first driver lines for errors
i don't think you can call scan if the driver as errors on startup

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...

if you get this sort of log them en1 is not configured in system preferences

Sorry, I'm a noob at this, please instruct me on how do I configure en1 in system preferences and I'll try again.

sames as abovealso looks like you got errors in your mac os x disktry boot -sfsck -fy / to fix the errors - if this fails you need to reinstall mac oskernel panics can break mac os x hfs file system and make mac os fail to work - including iwi3945.kext

aleluia
a good log
reboot and check if can make it load without errors on first log lines
if you can do it them call networkselector and try to scan
open console -> system.log first before press scan (only once)
looks like networselector panics when closed -> leave it opened

is anyone trying this in mac os x 10.4?
might work much better there

i feel very tempted to change code
better wait for more logs

please post the .dmg or iwi3945.kext and networkselector for others to test

one important question:
in os x 10.5 when you boot with -s does iwi3945 auto loads?
this is the expected behaviour in os x 10.4

i'll come tomorrow
thanks everyone for helping

[SuperInsanity]

what errors do you get when pressing build in xcode?

Here's the Xcode build errrors. Plus the logs from my system, I was able to grab them just before the freeze-up.

Still no .dmg being built.

ok ... more logs after a few reboots ... the main problem is that the system freezes qhuick and is hard to gt those log files

Hey Jalavoui, I'm getting these errors in xcode when i compile or build the kext file. Running xcode 3 on 10.5.2 for 2200 driver.

Didn't get a chance to see if it worked at school but if i can build it i'll test tomorrow. All day i'll be there. So when i build it should create a .dmg file for install correct? And i can use it to install the driver right?

Thanks

k weird now i'm just getting these errors. Don't remember the other errors i had. Thanks

Logs Revision 738
[attachment=25786:Logs738.zip]

[Wayfarer247]

Hey Guys, I have been doing some research into the 3945 Wireless card, thinking of trying to get Jalavoui a Laptop with one in it . Is there any difference between the 3945 minicard and what we are working on right now? I don't think there would be much of a difference, but I wanted to make sure. I am seeing how cheap a laptop I can get/make and still have the card in it.

Or perhaps a Desktop? Some cheap Desktop with a slot for a Network card? Ideas?

[mlazy]

Hey all,

I finally got Jalavoui's build 738 into a .pkg file. Please test the version below for him and post the logs. Once I figure out the .dmg trick, I'll post that too.

This installer places 2 files:

iwi3945.kext in /System/Library/Exetnsions
and
networkselector in /Applications

As always, we are not responsible for anything that happens to your machine etc...... test at your own risk. (I feel better now)

to remove this stuff:

boot in single user mode with -s
when it's ready, type "/sbin/mount -uw /" (press enter)
then type "cd /System/Library/Extensions" (press enter)
then type "rm -R iwi3945.kext"
then type "reboot" (press enter)

good luck!



Update: .dmg file available at:

http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/downloads/list

[mtheory]

Thanks! I installed i, and reboot went fine.

However, still, nothing new shows up in network config.
When I open networkSelector, it gives me a "Could not get ID for kernel control.2 logout" message.

[ulyanov77]

Here are my logs from using the .pkg installer. I had to boot -s and desktop would freeze soon after I took the logs.
