Get a cheap Linksys WG111v3 usb dongle of fry's...it works perfectly with the driver guide on this thread, and works fast too:

Yes please a solution to WM3945 would be fantastic.
Unless any else knows if there is a compatible replacement for DELL D620. I have a compatible card in my other DELL but the new one is half the size.
Dammit!!!

Still no working 4965 driver???
I'm with the other USB adopters. It's been a long wait and I needed to move on. Picked up an ASUS WL-167g for $26 and it works fine with my Kaly 10.4.10 and 10.5.4 images running on a Thinkpad T-60. Good luck to all and if something does get working then even better, but for now, I have CI/QE, audio and now working wireless and I am very happy with my hackintosh
That's being resourcefull! Good luck Lostproc. I'm planning for a dualboot b/w XP and OpenSuse. My MAC(ed) laptop is completely offline, so just need to utilize the hardware I paid for.

Have experience with working on Linux Drivers ... would be happy to review / code parts of your driver if you are interested.

This will be great! If You can help with compiling a driver for 3945 a lot of people will be extremely happy
If You contact jalavoui maybe he will be able to tell what the problem is.With great respect, jazzminos.
I guyz, i'm new here, will we have drivers for 3945 soon ? it would be great, so good luck in your work !
Can't we just buy used (or new) airpot minipci cards with broadcom chips in them and replace our slow intel 3945? It should run native in OSX.

check my sig, you can easily swap the wifi card . its very easy.
i wait for this driver since 7 months ...
I'm back, because in change the hard disk of my laptop and i don't remember how install an hackintosh ^^
But i saw that the driver don't arrive ...
What we can do, i make a donation of 20 $ 7 months ago and no answer ...
so what we can do ? If that's impossible to make a driver of it tell it !

I agree. I think after this amount of time people re getting impatient.
I have the 3945ABG, but also a WG11 floating around, and neither work, so im stucking using some other computers, while this has no net.
Come on guys, can you sort the 3945 out. Were all begging you lot.

i think people wants to know if it's possible,
and many people want this driver ...
so if you take a notebook with this wifi card (3945) You make the drivers (2 days like write on the top of the post)
when you finnish it, u sell the driver for 10 $ and you sell the netbook --> i'm sure you will win a lot of money and you will not need to sell the notebook, i think all people like me wants to buy like 10 $ to have this {censored} driver ^^

Its been god knows how long though, surly its rather easy to get hold of this driver. Even if people with the card sent the info you needed for it, you could try better, as its obvious that the current SVN doesnt work.

I guy,
If i understand (since my bad english) the driver for intel 3945 is not working. Isn't it ?
I my laptop, when i install SVN my computer stop to work is bloqued...
Since i used the same drivers in 10.5.2 i see my neetwork but can't connected, now in 10.5.5, it is impossible for me to install the dmg !!!
Hope the problem stop quick, but if i understand, someone wait since 7 months !!!

Solved my wireless problem picked up a replacement wireless card that was compatible with my laptop and voila.
Its not normally difficult or expensive to replace an internal wireless card and much better than a USB dongle.

Which card did you purchase?
Does anyone know any USB dongles that will work that I can get from Newegg or Bestbuy?
its so close...i can view networks with networkSelector but it just says "Trying to associate".
someone has to be able to fix this. has anyone been able to get this to work yet?

I picked up a Belkin F5D7050 to actually use for my Ubuntu. Regarding Ubuntu, what made it difficult to use was that this particular adapter used 3 or 4 different chips in them. For my Kalyway 10.5.2/10.5.5 I was able to use a Prism and a Ralink (2 out of the 3/4 chipsets used for these) based adapter perfectly. Both of the adapters worked out of the box for me with WPA2 support and that's what I'm posting from now.
Amazon has them both new and used from $15.00 + $4.99 s/h to $50.00 brand new. (Never pay more than $29.99 new though). eBay has loads of them for very respectable prices.
Hope it helps,
Rob
On another note (and not to jump on the complain train) I recall waiting for the same drivers while I was installing my Ubuntu/Kubuntu distros. I remember being linked to this thread at times nearly a year ago. Am I to understand that with all of the donations that were given, a suitable notebook hasn't been purchased to "test and create" drivers for the respective requested adapters?I'd be happy to donate if I knew what the tally and goal is.
QUOTE (undefined @ Dec 7 2008, 02:39 AM)
I guess there's absolutely no progress on the driver whatsoever, we would certainly hear about it!
Don't speculate about, CHECK YOURSELF and don't wait on people to tell you.

I'm not the person you asked, but I've been using a TRENDnet TEW-424UB (available from NewEgg) for some time now. It's based on a Realtek 8187B chipset. It works pretty well under MacOS X. The drivers (available on Realtek's Web site) make it look like an Ethernet adapter, so you have to use Realtek's utility to set up WiFi-specific stuff like WAP settings, then use MacOS X's tools for more generic network options like DHCP vs. manual IP address. I haven't tried installing Linux drivers, which I gather are awkward -- but Linux has native drivers for the 4965AGN chipset in my laptop, so that's a non-issue for me.
One caveat: When I did my initial research, I found conflicting information on what chipset the TRENDnet TEW-424UB uses. I suspect that it's changed over its lifetime, as manufacturers sometimes do. I don't recall what other chipsets may have been used, but my research turned up MacOS X drivers for the alternatives. Thus, it's conceivable that if you buy one of these you'll end up having to track down drivers. FWIW, I bought mine about half a year ago, so presumably the 8187B chipset was the current one at that time.
I used the Dell Truemobile 1490 MiniPCI Card and it works fine with Kalyway 10.5.2, it uses a broadcom chipset I believe.
There is general a compatible card that you can swap out, no intel wireless cards seem to be compatible but most realtek and broadcom ones are.
I would far prefer to use an internal wifi card over a USB dongle as the range is better and there is no risk of snapping off your dongle.
If you are a hardware n00b there is generally a walkthrough on how to change laptop wireless cards over. Its dead simple and cheap.
My card was $22US on Ebay.

i have bought Dell DW 1390 Mini-PCI because we said to me that work fine out of the box, that is real ?
People are going away from this card in flocks, even the developers are leaving.
What about the people who it is not an option for to change there wireless card. Cant we just this thing sorted, get the dev web wide credit and have everybody happy/

I'm coming here from time to time to see if there are any progresses, it reminds me to dust my intel card that rests in the closet.
Honestly, this project is stuck and going nowhere, there is no reason to complain because it's developed by volunteers and it will be at a dead end till some motivated experts will appear, and this can't be scheduled.
At this point, a guide on how to replace your wireless card with something compatible out of the box would be more useful.
I bought a Dell 1490 on ebay for 15 euro and I'm living happily.

If you want working WiFi but don't want to swap your internal wireless card the D-Link DWA-140 USB adapter works perfect, after 10+ months of having a none working 3945ABG I just picked one of these up from eBay for $25 - working perfect!
i bought an asus WL-167g usb wlan adapter it works greate.but i still wait for 4965 drivers.
I know everybody has been suggesting getting USB wireless adapters, I always had problems with them bending and eventually breaking. But, I had one of these adapters lying around and they work wonders! I suggest investing an extra 5 dollars in one of these to protect your investment (USB wireless adapter). http://www.vpi.us/usb-gender-flex.html (These are just an example, any brand will do).

i use the drivers at ralink page.but there are problems if you plug the stick before system start.just wait and then plug the usb stick.the ralink icon will pop up.then add the connection you use to profiles.you have to unplug it before mac os x starts.
