macgirl Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Well it seems that codegenic is nothing but a liar.Good job jalavoui. I don't think so, but his concept of "soon" is very different from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moogs Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Just tried the 4965 drivers with mac.nub's Tiger install, and it won't let me boot into OSX anymore. Battery is about to die, or I'd try to uninstall them and see what happens. Also, I'll definitely get the logging going to help get this baby done. I would LOVE 4965 wireless on Tiger.

rainwalker Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 jalavoui, I donated some money about a couple of weeks ago for development on the iwi3945 driver. Will you be trying to work on that driver at all before you get the card/laptop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalavoui Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 Will you be trying to work on that driver at all before you get the card/laptop? i've posted a new version for iwi3945/4965 - check previous posts i can use people posting logs so i can try to make it work at this time i don't have the hardware to make this drivers work, i'll just keep trying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwen Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 hi everybody is there a little chance for 3945abg for leo ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@irBOrNE Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 iwi2200 rel 550 jalavoui, you are da man! Thx again for the work on this. We are getting closer and closer, I wish I had more of a programming concept background than sys admin so I could offer some worthwhile advice for TX speed. It is fun to always give your latest version a try though. Keep up the great work. And if I may give one brief opinion, let's not be TOO hard on the people that aren't able to read through all 190 pages of this forum and are a little behind with their questions/knowledge. I don't blame our newest guests for asking a refresher question (as long as it hasn't been directly addressed on the last page or two), it ultiamtely will keep us honest and all up to date on the current status of the project. Cheers to all the macaholics, and thanks again to all those involved in making the free osx world a little happier for the rest of us. -@irBOrNE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kombucha Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I really don't want to sound presumptuous, since I haven't had much to do with this project yet except mourning a lack of working 3945abg drivers, but are you (jalavoui) going to buy a 3945abg with the donated money? They go for ~$15-$20 shipped on eBay. It seems as though actually using the card to develop a practical driver would expediate the development process dramatically. Thanks for all the hard work, though! I look forward to the day I finally get some internet with this godforsaken chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@irBOrNE Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 BTW, meant to report I got WEP working on iwi2200. My missing piece was not including the colins in the hex wep password as you mentioned, which looks to be necessary. (AB:CD:12:34...........). Glad I can secure my network with WEP once again!

See a problem there? Its not that he doesn't have the money for the card, it's that he doesn't have the money for a new laptop in which he could use the card. This has been stated before.

TmR Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I installed this on Leo ..now i get Kernel Panic while Booting.. how can i access the filesystem with write access to remove the driver ? don't wanna reinstall again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symuc Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I installed this on Leo ..now i get Kernel Panic while Booting..how can i access the filesystem with write access to remove the driver ? don't wanna reinstall again You can either reboot in single user mode (-s), do a "mount -uw /", and then "rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/iwi3945.kext" (or whatever driver you've installed), then "logout", or if you can't start in single user mode, boot off the CD and open the Terminal. Your hard drive should be mounted under /Volumes/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbs Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Hi! I haven't found nothing about using encryption keys-protected networks with iwi2200... Here is my problem : 1 - I installed the drivers with no remarkable problems (on an Acer 2012WmLi, with Intel BG2200 wireless controller). 2 - the graphic network selector app provided with drivers shows some networks in range 3 - I select mine (a set-up box from "Orange", french internet provider) 4 - It tries to connect and then comes back to network detection then networks list... I am not connected... My network is WEP-protected, and I couldn't figure out where to set this up. I'd say the problem is there. Is there a way? Is it not implemented int this driver version? am I dull? Thanks for the job anyway, and for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the job anyway, and for help. Hi Bobbs, I am using iwi2200 on my 128-bit WEP network now on revision 550 (make sure you grab the SVN latest), and it is working for me. In the network selector, once I select my network, a pop-up dialog box appears and asks me for the WEP password. I have found that I MUST put in the full HEX password for it to work with the colons (AB:12:................). Was as simple as that for me. If it just brings you back to the network selection list, that means it's not connecting and something else must be causing the problem on your end (since driver is working for others as you will see in above posts).

nico342 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Tested iwi2200 rev. 550 and works great. Still have a little tx speed problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ushir Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Hey guys, I installed Rev 550 for my Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG. I found it did not work with WEP enabled and gave the error "no internet connection!". However, after disabling WEP it did "work". The speed was incredibly slow when loading pages and 9 out of 10 times failed to load. Any idea's on what I can do to speed it up and how to use it with WEP enabled? Thanks!

Ok, thanks... after a few tests, seems that my wl card itself doesn't work properly, since I have trouble on my 3 OSes... I'll try & go troubleshooting hardware first ^^.

zeclubbeur Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Is iwi3945 rel 548 now working? Or which wireless card is recomenden for HP Pavilion(PCI-e)?Well, I think you can't change your pci-e card... I contacted hp 1 month ago to know which card could work on my laptop (hp dv5245ea)... According to them, my laptop doesn't have a pci-e card !!! But it does, I saw it !!So, y retried to contact them by mail and thez send to me a list of card which work... But, they aren't selled any more !! Some pci-e cards exists but you can't plug them in your hp laptop because the bios has a damn security which "prevent" non hp-cards installation. So, if you would like to have a fully fonctional wifi connexion quickly, you should buy a wifi dongle with a chipset which is not 2200/3945/4965 chipset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
