I believe i speak on behalf of everyone when i say: What?

It´s fake..... show captures of that or booting logs from the driver. (It is on debug mode so will be easy for you to find on system.log)

I know I would be very greatful as it's the only thing stopping me using my OSX install at home. I'm having to leave my Windows HDD in my laptop so I can use the wireless!

Yea me too


If you knows a way to make work one of the intel 3945 or the 4965 card, just tell us how you did

just get a usb wireless adaptor - if u live in canada get this and download from here:

why not a dev start from nothing a new driver. Guys ... the motivation is here

Why waste money on a USB wireless adapter, which is awkward sticking out the side or rear of your laptop when you have a perfectly good internal one inside it?

I'm happy to wait for the drivers, but I'm really looking forward to using OSX when I'm at home.

/me ponders how many pages are taken up with requests to make the kexts...


I agree, the motivation is here, not only will you get world wide aclaim for beating the hardware, but i am sure with the work thats already been done, a good dve should have it done within a week i rekon.


Mark.

i was just wondering if the card could be detected, could we install drivers in a virtual machine and use the windows drivers. (just for now)
Just an idea.

No, the card has to be detected in the host OS (OS X) for it to work in the virtual OS (Windows).

Good luck! Been waiting for the driver for a long time

make the 4965AGN first !!! lol

Actually I looked at the code (I can't code, but I was bored) and it seems like the only difference between the 3945 and 4965 drivers are 2 files (1 header file and 1 c file). The two files are only to enable the use of wireless N. Basically, either you could use the 3945 driver with the 4965 card or it would just be a matter of a quick port of the files.

i wish we will able to use the drivers at 2009.happy new year to everyone.

maybe the driver on this release work ? Or are they the same as iwidarwin ?

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=142502

are the same......

Only USB devices can be passed to the virtual machines so no PCI/PCI-E devices, one user told me wild long ago that PCMCIA could be passed also, but I didn't see any proof of that.

And by the way, the Intel cards are detected by Mac OS, the problem is that it has no drivers, you can check how is detected wih IORegistry or with DPCI Manager.

Is the same thing with the Ralink RT61 cards, they are making only PPC drivers for it, the card is detected by Mac OS but without proper driver it wont work.

no, read carefully!

In order to post a comment, we should add a "In order to post, you are required to read the entire thread to avoid stupid, unnecessary, or repeated questions. Have fun." feature

It's very strange... can someone, tell me the advantage of using pci-e devices for NETWORKING over USB... because I think that this was an unfortunate decision toward virtualization.... Per example... in my Inspiron 1525 I use a broadcom chip for wireless, a novatel chip for broadband, and a broadcom chip for bluetooth. On VMWare Fusion I can use my mobile broadband and bluetooth directly, without problems; because the mini-cards are handled by the USB bus. Also on real macs the external connectivity is handled by USB bus.. like keyboard/mouse/tracking pad... I think that is was a good choice for their part.

News?!?!?!?!

The holidays aren't over yet.

It says that it has support for 4965 could that be?

My buddies laptop has that and we are looking for a way to get internet to work

No.

Criss900, our future is in your hands!

Any one know if the Intel 5100 AGN is working or has been updated to work? I have an HP Dv5T and have everything up and working except for wireless. The 9600m gt is working sound is working, lan is working, just no wireless. Any help would be awesome!

same with me, I have the DV5t, but I have the 9200m GS and everything's working except wifi. I'm waiting very patiently for it.

face it. project is most likely a dead nub now. Unless we have a highly skilled programmer to do us a favor, this project is going nowhere. Best to buy another wifi card. I have come to face that fact.

Yeah that sucks =\

What about the Intel test driver? (not related to this topic.. just saying)

1. Sorry to be a fascist
2. Read the WHOLE stream before you ask a question.
3. Speculating on this thread will probably prolong development.
4. If u can help developing the code for the driver's on iwidarwin, contact the head developer jalavoui
5. Thank you for your time & may the force be with u

We have hope again, from the news a new dev is joing.

The holidays are drawing to a close, get your skates on please.
My Hackbook is hungry for Safari



Think Mark

who are you talking about ??

Wow a guy comes in and says he wants to work on the driver and you don't notice?????? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU MAN?

lol well he just said he's gona try to work on it. Good luck, but we will need more than 1 dev to make this thing work.

we need a fricken miracle from allah to make this thing work.................. I don't understand WHY apple didn't used intel cards. THey use intel processor, chipset, gfx at times, but why not wifi? Just to avoid being called a "Centrino Mac"? Sometimes I doubt apple's judgement.

Quick heads-up: Don't lose hope

I didn't want to make any announcement yet but given the sentiment in this thread let me state: I have begun writing the drivers for Intel 2200 (that's the card I have and compatible with 2915abg), and will follow it with 3945 when I can procure one.

No concrete time frame, but the 2200 alpha/beta won't be out before mid-Jan, 3945 not before Feb. Sooner or later depending on how it pans out. It will be Airport compatible.

This is NOT a continuation of iwidarwin so please don't ask me about it. I am also NOT looking for any help with testing or coding at the moment.

Any other developers who might be working on it, I advise you to start with 4965 as it is newer, and unlikely that I will write anything for that card, at least not until we get 3945 off the ground. So if 4965 dev goes in parallel with 2200/2915/3945, we could have all drivers out at about the same time and avoid duplicating effort.

WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!!!!

SO MUCH!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im as giddy as a school girl

damn it when 3945 will work (one day) i will be left alone with my 4965, everyone will leave this topic will I become crazy ???

Awesome! Great to know someones actually working on a driver, can't wait until Feb!

Wiiiiii..... 3945 Airport compatible! wiiiiiiii.......

When I 1st Attempted to install osx86 on my Dell XPS m1210 with the 3945 Intel Card using
I believe Kalyway 10.5.2 version default options (Im not 100% sure because since then ive also tried installing IAtkos and JAs 10.5.4)..

but anyway on this 1st attempt, my wireless came up perfectly and operated perfectly on the 1st complete boot, including using osx's AIRPORT network preferences. At the time, i was just experimenting and my sound, my video resolution, etc. wasnt working properly. I thought I would try a different osx86 install thinking it would fix the other issues. I didnt realize there were patches for the other items and since then i havent been able to get the wireless working again!

Ive tried several install discs since then trying to recreate the wireless function but no go!

Any ideas why it worked the 1st time? Ive cleared my OSX partition and started over several times and im wondering what options i may have chosen but dont remember to get it to work but i believe its possible somehow because I saw it!

I remember browsing in Safari right after installing OSX86 but..never again unless im on Wired internet.

Ideas? Could it have been a state my card was in or perhaps a BIOS setting i switched trying to get it to work?

hmm ....... interresting comment , so it is one of the three you mentionned ? It is not kaliway though, doesnt work for me, or maybe it did only the first boot, i dont know ...

I have noticed that 3945 and 4965 use the exact same driver on windows

When will the 4965 work?

I see that this is your first post on this forum so your most probably new, some people been waiting 1 years for that driver ... so its gona take a lot of time .........

is the 3945 worked for someone here ... ???

Thanks for replaying

You can read the 158 pages, u will have a better idea of whats happening .... just kidding , no one made the 3945 work nor the 4965

Hi I am a devel here, and starving to get my wifi back, just killed my vista yesterday.

I now connect internet through my iphone wifi, it is fun but it is ridiculously slow.

I just checked out the iwi and read through the code, not very easy but I think I can dedicate myself to create 3945.

The problem is this is my first time on writing driver, especially for mac.

Could you provide some document or guidance on driver development and airport API?

See, Hope. Glad somebody is starting with the 3495 first... It's the most wanted.


Thanks

Think Mark

my feelling is that the wireless 4965 will work with the 3945 driver, or maybe with a bit of hex editing. Lets see ... Same driver on windows so why not also same on mac

Just out of curiosity, but what other alternatives are there to get internet working on my laptop? I have the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wifi adapter so i obviously can't use that. I also don't have the option of using a wired connection. So what else can i try?
