AlexIT Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 thanks, butthe problem is that i only have a 2200 card i don't think i can make other iwidrivers work this way Yes, I see. If you explain what you think the problem could be, I can try something (I use Xcode - but not for drivers till now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codegenic Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 @ codogenic: please if you want to help just do it, i mean if you have sort of a mini-team already, just start creating drivers for the hardware which is still a bit behind, for example the 3945abg... and if you can really do much better, send a note to the admin to tell him about this, and to inform him.. he could make you the official "driver producer" if you're that good at it. I mean the people who wait arent really the ones which are interested, if you would be that keen on helping you would have just done the drivers and put them here for testing. @ jalavoui: Keep the good job working. Cheers! It is done, and a new driver has been provided, in spite of the legal term B$ someone was claiming to know about. Sparetime is sparetime, and whatever code written that is affiliated with hardware provided by other manufactors than Apple is not owned in any way. Even Toyota allows software updates for other hardware installations in their brands. Its a given that this would be illegal if you were trying to distribute drivers made for Apple hardware, however this is not the case and the fact that it runs on OS, is not illegal neither. Drivers for Windows OS by other coders for other hardware have been made b4 as I recall. As stated earlier, a driver has been developed and is on its way here.

JonyBravo Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 kp fixes - maybemy guess i'll take a year to make this drivers work looks like nobody interesting in making donations for getting new hardware the iwi2200 as about 2000 downloads and only 1 donation maybe when it gets to 200000 i get 100 Well, I have a Broadcom PCI Express card coming to replace the 3945 unit that came with my notebook. As long as this card works with my Uphuck 10.4.9, you can have the intel card unless you already have one. Of course, that means giving up your address to me. I am expecting the Broadcom card this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainwalker Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Hey All, I'm looking for the Intel 3945 driver for OSX 10.4.8. I'm no programmer but I've got a Fujitsu Lifebook T4210 and would like to help out in the development process in whatever way I can. I tried to follow the iwidarwin installation instructions but, when I get to single user mode, typing "/networkSelector" results in "Could not get ID for kernel control". I think it also says something about iwi2100kext. Anyway, like I said, I'd like to help out in whatever way I can. So where do I go from here? Thanks, -rainwalker P.S. - Added a small donation for your efforts, jalavoui. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalavoui Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 If you explain what you think the problem could be, I can try something (I use Xcode - but not for drivers till now) well... i love to explain it but i can only guess where the bug is. if i have the card i think i can finish the driver in 1 or 2 weeks the driver main bug is somere in the start() function and the firmware handling interrups there's too many ways to find where the bug is some developer have offer to help - i hope someone fixes this so that the driver developmente can proceed my laptop is a acer 4100 i can put all kind of mini-pci cards - including a 2100. i'm considering buy one to finish the driver if there's enought support i can't add the 3945 or 4965 on my hardware. this are mini-pci express cards and have several problems with mac os x maybe there's a model of iwi3945 card that is mini-pci but even that i make it work the driver will fail for the pci-express cards i'm also planing to make 4965 work - when it's done it will be the best driver ever written for mac os x i'd like to keep this thread alive - i've been doing this for about a year, but i feel that i need to make more drivers work any developer/donation help is welcome iwi3945 interrupt handle test - please post separated logs for each version iwi4965 power cmd enabled iwi3945_irqt.dmg iwi3945_isr.dmg iwi4965.dmg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@irBOrNE Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 i'd like to keep this thread alive - i've been doing this for about a year, but i feel that i need to make more drivers workany developer/donation help is welcome Apologies if you're having to be repeditive at times jalavoui, but there are just so many messages to read through here. Could you once again remind us all how exactly to donate to the cause? codegenic: Thanks for the efforts, looking forward to see what you'll been able to help with this and accomplish from your end.

I'm sorry to hear that you cannot use my card. Unfortunately I am not in position to provide a notebooke with a PCIe slot. So ... you need a new laptop with intel965 chipset !

Johnny Poulet Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 i installed leopard and my network card is 3945ABG, i dont see this note "This drivers are made for 10.4.x there's no support for 10.5 at this time" on iwidarwin. what can i do? nothing much but wait when there is a working driver for 3945 for tiger, you might be able to make it work under leopard. unless the driver structure is completely different, i have no idea i am no coder, i wish i had more time to devote to this, but .. this semester is hitting me hard. jalavoui, i will be getting a usb wifi card soon, maybe i can help you more with the 3945 since i will be able to run tests while being connected to the internet. thanks again.
