Hello, i installed the latest svn from iwidarwin and what program do i use to launch network selector on iatkos 10.5.2 install? like what app i tried terminal and it says illegal operation?

[jayman30]

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

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

Here's my System.log Installed new build 738 DMG file, hard locked when running Network Selector Scan. Rebooted then hard lock as soon as desktop appeared. As far as I can tell, iwi3945 does not auto load with -s boot.

Hi,

Sorry to spam the thread with maybe unusefull informations, but... The latest Lunix kernel release (2.6.24) features a port of the linux iwi3945 driver from the old Linux wifi stack to the new mac80211-based one.

I think I remember the OS X driver model was closer from a mac80211 model than anything else, so it may help to look at the Linux code again... Plus some code may have been cleaned. Anyone ?

Hi all, and thanks for the hard work done for helping the community.

I just join the osx86 community, just install the Kalyway 10.5.2, everything works great, except network and WiFi card. In fact, i have, like all the others, the Intel 3945 ABG ...

So i want to help debugging it by posting logs.

I just install the iwi3945v738.dmg, my laptop has rebooted normally.

I then go to Application to run the newtorkSelector app, but i got this error: "Could not get ID for kernel control. 2"

Any solution Jalavoui ? How can i do for logging the results in my Laptop ?

Thanks for all !

[jalavoui]

this was inspired by the good code from iwi2200 - i also change it for iwi2200 in svn

iwi3945 rel 741
iwi2200 loading way
ready for testing

i'll come back later to read logs and answer yor questions

Hi Jalavoui,

I update my lapotop to the rel 741, and I obtain the following error when I run the networkSelector:

Unhandled transform (1) for ioctl group = 78 (N), number = 3, length = 100
Illegal instruction
logout

If you need logs, please tell me how i can obtain them on the lapotop.

rev 741:
Driver shows KP after load. Here's the kp picture in single user mode. It shows many lines like these before the kp:
check_firstup
check_firstup

Then it gives the KP...

When I load it in Mac OS X 10.5.2 itself, I was quick enough to open networkselector, but when I tried to make a scan, the BSOD appeared. (I could turn the card on and off).
I'll see if I can grab the system.log

[jalavoui]

i'll fix all iwidarwin xcode proj - looks like having permissions bugs
and update to the svn tree

ok done for all - get it from iwidarwin svn tree
remember:
to build the .dmg in xcode, before you press build
use finder to delete the old .dmg file in the main folder

that panic can be because of bad en1 configuration
remove iwi3945.kext
reboot
goto sys prefs -> network
delete en1 interface
reboot
install iwi3945.kext
load it with kextload
goto sys prefs->net
press apply to add the new inteface
try a few reboot to check for kp

this code works in mac os x 10.4
can someone try in on os x 10.4? read some post back to learn howto setup xcode

[salimbo]

Ok ! I'll waiting for your changes ...

[rubinho93]

I'm not quick enough to catch the system.log... I'll wait for it too

I tried it, but when I do that, for some reason, the WiFi card is left en2... I don't know why, and then I tried it one more time by deleting every ethernet card in my configuration, but it's still en2.

[jalavoui]

...
did you unplug ALL other network connections before testing iwi3945.kext ?

en2??

if you computer as a build in ethernet card -> it's en0

iwi3945 must be en1

some computers without this settings may fail testing iwi3945

in os x 10.4 there's a file for network setup in library/prefrences - delete it

can someone test latest iwi2200 from svn
if iwi2200 don't work with this changes i'll abandom iwidarwin project
i'm shore it is working

TNW,
can you test the driver?
we need developer testers here!!

Thnx for your help, 
my ethernet card = en0
the library/preferences file is also there in Leopard. It's correct that when you delete 
that file, all the network settings will be set to standard 
I'm trying it now... 

[drago1]

i get

"Could not get ID for kernel control.2 logout"

whet i need to do ?

MAC 10.5.2

[rubinho93]

I figured out how to reset the en0/1/2 settings..
In Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration is a file named NetworkInterfaces.plist

When you delete this and reboot, your settings will be back to default. Now my Intel Wireless card is en1

Jalavoui I'll test the 2200 drivers when i get to school. I wanna see if the hidden network ESSID thing is fixed. And thanks for fixing the permissions thing (well i hope it did haven't tried it yet).

I'll let yeah know asap hopefully with some logs k.

Thanks

iwi3945 rev748
Strange...

On boot with -v I get an other kernel panic. It scans so fast and often for networks on boot I couldn't count it, but after a while it gives the kp. Here's the picture:


Edit: An other strange thing...
If I install the kext in /extensions I got the KP showed above.
When I load it manually with -s I get the same KP like earlier when my intel wireless 3945 wasn't en1

Weird...

[drago1]

rubinho93

you on 10.5.1?

[rubinho93]

you on 10.5.1?

no, 10.5.2 (I edited my signature just before you wrote this )

[Gahca]

Is anyone else getting a kernel panic too fast in order to do anything?
