Whenever i try to connect to a WEP Network i get a BUS Error...Is anyone else getting this or know a resolution ???
Yes I had the same error with NetworkSelector and I patched it.
I'm currently working on nsGui (for Leopard) and I hope I'll have enough time to finish my work this week to post a testing version of iwidarwin for 2200BG (this will include the patched NetworkSelector).
Please, respect Javalui thread and work and erase all your offtopic posts from the thread before a mod come here and ban you 14 days like here:

hoy i got an acer laptop with intel 3945 but just wondering i want to replace this one with a one that works with mac so 10.5.4 i m going to broadcom 4311 pci-e mini internal one is that gonna work or not plz help
I can't believe it's almost complete! (been waiting for about a 1yr here but I can't possibly complain because of the hard work being made)
My wireless card is practically the only component not working on my Toshiba but everything else is perfect (video, sound etc)
My wireless card is practically the only component not working on my Toshiba but everything else is perfect (video, sound etc)
I had almost lost all hopes of using Mac OSX on my Acer Aspire 5570 ANWXCI, the land card and wifi IWI 3945 both failed to connect, due to this i resorted to buying a Dlink USB Wifi, and now it works! But I am still waiting for a change to remove the USB Wifi dongle for the best thing - a working IWI 3945, good luck guys, hope we make it the soonest!!!

the IOFreeContiguous() gives me firmware errors in iwi2200 replace it from my last post
you can write the skb_xxx functions for mac os - this will make the linux code run with less modifications. in iwi2200.h you'll find more skb converted functions
you're going in the right direction - converting some linux functions makes the code much easier to work
what version of iwl3945 are you using?
TNW is working with iwl3945 1.0 and ioethernetcontroller
you're working with apple80211
i think you should commit your code to the svn trunk to a folder called "iwi3945-airport10.5
i think symuc as started ported from latest linux source (with apple80211)
you should wait for him to commit is version of iwl3945
this will save you from having to convert all linux code again and will allow you to use the same linux source
i like your version with ioethernetcontroller - do you plan do keep it or move to apple80211?
at this time iwi3945 can scan for networks
but the hard part will be to write code for the rx/tx handle.
TNW, you can try to use the new mac80211 functions for rx/tx - this will be hard to do
or you can try to use the ieee80211 rx/tx functions from iwi2200 - they're stable
have you fixed the anoying iwl_send_cmd() bug?
you need to remove
if (rc==HOST_COMPLETE_TIMEOUT) priv->status &= ~STATUS_HCMD_ACTIVE;//hack
otherwise the commands will always be send
in iwl_rx_handle() you have
reclaim=0;
i think this can give a bug - remove it and check
check iwl_rx_queue_alloc() - remove IOMallocContiguous()
if you don't use IOMallocContiguous() remove all IOFreeContiguous()
can you commit iwi2200.dmg to iwi2200-osx10.5 ? we need to have people testing the driver
i think with some good logs you can make a few changes in the source code to make it work
you can check if iwi2200 loads in your computer by adding your card id to info.plist - just remove it before committing to svn
you should add in iwi3945-osx10.5 svn tree the property "svn:ignore build" this will prevent the build folders to be committed to the svn tree. i found strange files there - do you need stdio.h and _types.h?
if you move nsgui from iwi2200 take a look at the run script in xcode. you also need to add new folders (iwi3945) to allow it to build iwi3945.dmg
we need people with 2100 and 4965 cards to join iwidarwin
i'd like to have all drivers working in mac os x 10.5

I have 2100 card. But I am not program developer. How can I help you?
Hi to all who give priceless efforts for developing drivers.
i have a 3945abg card on my hp pavillion dv9000 laptop and i'm ready to try your codes everyday if you send them to me. and i'll send the results that you wanna know, back to you. maybe it's like catching the right ear with the left hand over your head but an operating system without internet !?%& you know what i mean.
and also i'm willing to share my laptop with a remote connection over my working ethernet card while i'm at work between hours 9am-6pm gmt+2.
anyone interested in my offer? or anyone has an offer?

Guys why are you trying the driver that is confirmed not working? This is futile effort in trying to fix something none of us know how it works. Let the developer come out with a working release. There seem no point otherwise posting about the failure of something that is already flawed.

Wow man. Way to show your backbone there. Not a mod! What would happen if this pointless account was ripped from your little clammy grip.
The whole 3945abg whine pisses me off. I went out and USBed it. Officially over. I still have one so I check. However I also check the weather on the dashboard occasionally. Not because I care, just because it's there.
Cards are like $30. Soak it up.
Mods, feel free to ban me.
I said since this post started that nobody will be able to make this 3945abg working. That's why i got as soon as possible a netgear usb wifi that has been working awesome (WEP and WPA). Good luck those that are still trying...
Well, my whole thing is that time is money, and the < $50 that I spent on a Hawking Tech USB wireless device was money well-spent and time well-spent. I don't have time to develop a driver, and obviously, Jalavoui doesn't, either.
His last post was 10/24, before that was September. He has a computer, but obviously has very little time. Either that, or he truly is not interested in the whole thing. Those are the only two possibilities here, boys and girls!
I hate to be a downer, as I was initially hopeful and sent money off to someone for this. But, no dice. I am quite convinced that someone ran off with my loot (and probably a lot of others' money as well) and said hasta la vista.
Wait as you wish; it's been well over a year and still no driver or sign of one working soon. But, if you want wireless, I highly recommend going out and spending a few dollars for a USB wireless device that is smaller than a BIC lighter and can probably be had for about $30 and enjoy your Hackintosh. If you spent so much cash for a computer to begin with, you definitely have a spare $30 around for a piece of hardware.
Good luck.
Mike

Look that: http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/ ...there isn't the Donate Panel!!so soon we have the new drivers?? or iwi want only pick up the money for a (gold) coffie? (300$)
So since this isn't likely to be finished anytime soon, does anyone else think it might be worth porting the WORKING FreeBSD iwi driver over to OSX? Since apparently porting the WORKING linux driver doesn't seem to be happening.
for all the kind donations javalui has been getting, i think the least he could do is to keep us updated. come on, in the outside world, every organization keeps their sponsors updated of their event happenings..
it's really not right to keep everyone waiting like this. if the driver is not working, i think we would all appreciate him telling us instead of keeping quiet for so long!
just look at all the frustration he's causing! give him the respect? what respect is he giving us? i'll respect you if you keep us updated, javalui.
thanks

so GIVE HIM A BREAK PLS. just BE patient,
and delete irrelevant posts to this thread, i.e., post that don't involve debugging info related to producing a working driver, which should really be posted to the iwidarwin bug threads if any??
tnx.

Friends, I believe:
He needs the hardware itself.
He needs developers, who can write the code. If he has the hardware he can test it himself.
He does not need testers.
He needs people who can fix the errors.
If we're doing anything else, we're just wasting ink. We can always wait, on the other hand replacing the card with Broadcom 43xx (Dell DW 1490), would be a sure shot option. It's just a matter of choice.

one hour ago i bought a D-link DWA-110 USB wireless adapter from an oem store. now i'm connected internet with it. if you don't wanna wait for the 3945abg drivers you just have to spend 20 dollars and a hour.
just put the driver cd, install 10.4.x driver package restart and you're done. works great with kalyway 10.5.2 vanilla.
just a recommendation for your mac love and nervous system health
leave this jalavoi guy free.

I don't know Krrr, but perhaps he's short of time to write a driver. Meanwhile a lot of people have replaced the hardware itself to some Mac compatible one. That does really saves time as kecionur said. It's actually not a very practical idea to have a semi-fucnctional system just because we don't have the drivers. Rebooting into another OS just because Mac can not connect to the world, really kills most of it's productivity. I run XP for that purpose because Mac is virtually disconnected from the world. Solution is, just replace the hardware or change the OS. If you're a Microsoft rival, Linux would be the bet, or Vista and Mac could go hand in hand.
12 months ago: Waiting for 3945 driver.
6 months ago: Bought a D-link USB wifi.
Today: Thank God for what i did 6 months ago.
For those who cannot wait for the driver, seriously, go get a USB wifi adapter. At least to temporarily provide you wifi access, then switch to the iwi drivers when they are done.
Anyways thanks for all your dedication Jalavoui, and also to the rest of the dev team. Good luck! Still hoping to see the iwi3945 working.

Now he doesn´t come here so much, can you go to the development website and send him a email from there?, Your help will be so much appreciated.

1. Download & Install
2. Reboot
3. (just after rebooting) click on Ralink icon in dock to setup
Note: I had to tinker with Network Settings in System Preferences to get it working

Hi jalavoui,
I followed the tutorial on
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...rt=#entry925693
to test my Intel Wifi 4965agn and posted my result on that thread.
The result is minimally successful, I was able to use the networkSelector program to turn on the wifi card, and scan for the available networks. But when I try to associate with one, it only says "trying to associate" then returns to the menu. No internet accessibility afterwards (pinged my router and it's 100% loss).
I'm a pretty proficient programmer but I haven't done any driver development before. I would be interested in helping you to develop this driver, but any suggestions on how/where to start? Such as what topics I should be familiar with before I attempt to make changes.
Feel free to contact me, thanks.

i'd really like to see some developer work in this thread
i don't know when the drivers will be ready...
thanks for helping
driver status:
iwi2100/2200
working
need to fix some bugs

hi,
i was looking for a solution for this wireless stuff, and found a solution that might be handy, virtualization
check out "vmware fusion", its not a driver for 3945 and 4965 wifi cards, but it lets xp run under os x, they both work at the same time, and a good thing about that is that you can run the windows programs you like in os x, it lets hardware with out mac drivers to run under mac os (in xp actually but in os x screen, not xp) check it out for yourselves, worked for me, you can play direct x 9 games in os x too btw
but made my notebook a little slow (fujitsu siemens amilo pi 1556 with intel 1.83 dual core, 1 gb ram, 256 mb geforge go 7600)

For that to run efficiently, at least 3gb of ram is required. Mac eats up 2gb of ram within minutes. In that sense it resemble Vista, but if we assume that Leopard is not that graphics hungry, still it requires a minimum of 1Gb ram to run. Perhaps it's the redundant machine code? I wonder how people render 3D graphics on Mac and how much ram do they require!

I render 3D graphics under mac os as efficently as under xp (with the same hardware and software). And leopard uses about 600 MB of ram after running for hours. The amount of "inactive" memory increase rapidly, but as far as know this is only cached ram, usable by any process, it is there only to speed up an application that has been launched before.
The memory and performance issues that may occur testing those non working driver can be due to logging or a possible memory leak. 3945 and 4965 driver are work in progress, aren't they ?
I guess there's absolutely no progress on the driver whatsoever, we would certainly hear about it!
About the virtualization, AFAIK, virtual machines use hardware only that's operative in host system. You can pass USB devices directly to your virtual system, but I don't think you could pass any PCI cards that weren't recognized by computer in first place.

sorry, as i was asked for, i removed the reply

Have experience with working on Linux Drivers ... would be happy to review / code parts of your driver if you are interested.
I have i3945abg card on my lappy - let me know how i can help

I'VE GOT A WORKING BROADCOM WLAN CARD IN AN HP DV2660 LAPTOP!!!!! SO, DON'T BIOS HACK ANYMORE, CHANGE THE BROADCOM SUB ID'S AND ENJOY!!!
dude, chillax, it's not even a right thread. and we could read that smaller font, too.
