The reason why it was developed under root was that it was  faster and easier to test and install. What you should do is to enable the root user. This allow you to login as root and have a desktop. No more sudo crap to copy. You can now use the UI for that.

Yes, I just haven't had much motivation to do so yet.  It's a hard project for me to dig into.

Okay. It is good to hear someone is trying to do something..

[Geek]

My sound card has a device id of 4341 and vendor id of 1002, it shows up as realtek ac 97 audio in dxdiag. Is this is the device this driver is supposed to be for? Or else how can i get this working in 10.4.6?? Also is there any support for Atheros AR5005GS Wireless Adapter or Realtek RTL8139/810x under 10.4.6 I would really like to get these working. I know this is a little off topic but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

[Elv13]

the driver actually dont work, and for atheros wireless, it work or it dont, for me it worked without any hack

[Geek]

Ya I realize this driver isnt finished yet...but i was wondering if this would or should work when its finished or should I be looking for something else that is already out there for my card? Thanks for your response

[zelda]

For Atheros use IO80211Family.kext from 10.4.5, works like a charm.

[Elv13]

[Elv13]

you need to reapair permission and delete 2 file in /system/library related to extensions (there is only 2 anyway)

I understand.
For progress, I think I'm reasonably certain what's wrong: I don't think Mac OS X is triggering the interrupt handler.  Like I posted earlier (before I got confused, hehe), I'm sure the hardware needs an interrupt in order to advance the hardware pointer and finish the sample - this is the function of the "ack" in the interrupt handler.  If the handler doesn't fire, the ack doesn't get sent, and it simply hangs in an "indeterminate" state - the DMA is still "running", but nothing's happening because it's waiting for the interrupt to be serviced.  The software then tries to shoot the next sample to the DMA, but it's flagged as still running, so the software kicks the bucket and returns to the user.  End result: Infinite loop.

If someone who knows more about Mac OS interrupt handling than I do would care to look at the code and see where the handler has gone so wrong, I'm reasonably certain we'll get sound working.

any idea which two files and the commands to do that?

[chrs2021]

the two files are extensions.mkext and extensions.kextcache. also the commands are chown and to use that command you have to type sudo chown -R root:wheel /system/Library/Extensions/filename.kext

[zelda]

thedopefishlives,

Have you seen this site ?

I did that but i keep getting the message that

Missing dependencies

com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily
No Valid versions of this dependency can be found

I even took the IONetworking.kext from 10.4.5 hoping that would help but it didnt.

I know this is  wayyy but this is the only place i can seem to find good help

Thanks
