IWI3945 885
I think i have catch the kp you are looking for...

iwi4965 rel 886

I notice that I am not getting any of the initialization strings I saw before (Intel 4965 detected, assigning interface, etc.)

pere,

can you add some IOLog("1\n"); ...
to iwl3945_tx_skb()
this will help catch the panic

Jalavoui, I have a spare HP Intel 3945ABG minipic-e card, I would be more than willing to send it to you if that would help the progress here. If this is something that you would like to do, just let me know. Just wanna help anyway I can. Thanks!

iwi4965 rel 886

Got a KP on the 4th try. I couldn't find anything helpful in the logs, maybe you will see something.

Did more than 10 reboots, no more kp, sorry, added the iologs ,but if no kp... no cigar.
A lot of sw errors. just that.

the outputPacket2 code is wrong - the driver don't send packets
i'll try a fix

done

iwi3945 rel 887
iwi4965 rel 888

watch out for kp

Last rels give me only freezes (blue screen) on reboot. Complete log with several reboots and shot of the rel 883 KP attached.

My BT is off (kexts IOBluetoothFamily and ...HID... removed, is it enough?), but my card still shows errors with "BT". I can try hack it, and timei, and return rc, but I need more stable release.

Update: rel 887 is ok

iwi4965 rel 888

This is the log immediately after adding kext and repairing permissions. Will add the log after reboot shortly.

This is new!

EDIT: Got a KP after a few reboots. Log attached.

Sorry, still no KP. (10 reboots more).



EDIT:

@Gabik123: how do you get a log AFTER your computer gives a KP?

With a horrible camera! XD (i hope not everyone own one as bad as mine.)

As you have seen. after a kp, there is no logs...

Edit 2: No logs from the KP or what caused it...

how do you get a log AFTER your computer gives a KP?

Just reopen Console after rebooting, and click on system.log
Everything should still be there.

That is how I did it, anyways.

Note: my KPs occurred after I had already booted into the OS.

Edit: sorry I misread. There is no way that I know of to log anything AFTER a kernel panic. But I assume that you can get some good hints about the problem by looking at what was logged right before the panic. So I post the log I had up until the KP.

Good evening guys... Just as an effort. I'd like to state my most sincere compliments to everyone whose been constantly putting their efforts to make this wi fi driver (4965AGN) become a true reality.

I wish I had some sort of skills to help in those technical aplicabilities, instead of just sit and cheer to the winners working so hard.

Again! Congratulations!

I'll keep on believing it will happen...

on rel 888 I get a KP after having this line repeat after about 10 mins. doubt its helpful at all, anyone else up? Nice logs adamsint

Sorry to pester, but would someone with the ability mind building the 10.5 iwi2200.dmg from the latest svn as Jalavoui has requested? I among others have been eagerly waiting to test, as the current svn latest DMG isn't working and I have no internet access on the machine currently to proceed. Thx much..

I'll get working on the installation package, give me around an hour from this post.
edit: the kext/networkSelector/nsGUI.app in the latest installation package show a last-modified date of April 21st.
the most recent modification uploaded to the SVN on iwi2200.cpp was on April 17th.
I don't have a 2200 to test, but the installation package in the disk image file on the SVN appears to be up to date.


Plop open the proper panel on your laptop and take a look at the label on the card?
(I have no idea what laptop make you have, so it's hard to actually give "universal" directions for this)

@Cameron
boot with ubuntu or any other live cd. you'll be able to see the card name...
or if you have windows installed, just check it out on "device manager"

it will be done when it is done. mad props to J for helping us dev a card he doesn't even have. if you guys would like to help, i'm sure we can get through it even faster. devoid posted some awsome directions on how to do this, thats how I learned, there is a link to them on J's first post on the first page of this thread. Its pretty easy to dev

Hi guys, I have a Dell X300 laptop and I have the wlan 2100 but after i open the pakage and installed they ask me to reboot and soon after my macintosh crashed every time it tries to start up. Can anyone teach me how to revive my mac without reinstalling it again? Thanks!

I don't have that card or drivers, but try this.

Restart your computer, and at the boot screen type:

-x -v -s

Hit Enter. Once it gets done loading to a command prompt, type:

mount -uw /
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/iwi2100.kext

Hit enter. It worked if you didn't get any errors.
next, type 'reboot', minus the quotes, and hopefully your system comes back up.

Good luck

Hmm i tried but nothing happened when i types mount -uw or the rm lines and when i press reboot, it reboots and i still have the problem. did i type something wrong? I didn't show any error

at boot enter any key.

then there (options) type:

and hit enter

see if you can boot.

Try remove extensions.mkext:
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

It could help you.

The .mkext didn't work but the -x -v worked and i booted in safe mode. I went to the file and found the iwi2100.kext but i coudn't delete it cause of insufficeint previlages. Anyone know how to get rid of this? Thanks for the help so far!

You need sudo command in teminal.
sudo root(enter)
type your root password( enter)
Then you can remove that kext. By the way you should remove extensions.mkext also. It would let you boot up without any error.

Hope you get your hac back!

I think im sinking deeper into his hole! After doing something (randomly trying to delete the file) I somehow managed to get the error boot.plist is not found.......... oh sh*t! how do i get it to rewrite? I don't have the installation cd with me now......

for 3945 development maybe this will help out ... especially last post > http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/su...ss-3945-440538/

Fixed broken link

tx code changed

iwi3945 rel 889
iwi4965 rel 890

Just tested iwi3945 version 889.

kext loaded, stuck at bluescreen on first reboot but booted fine on 2nd.

Logs attached

Cheers

scan time fix

iwi3945 rel 891
iwi4965 rel 892

Thanks devoid. Unfortuantely the latest iwi2200 svn DMG that's been there for a while isn't working, and I can't find any earlier versions to revert to. Basically when trying to choose a certain SSID to connect to, it will either randomly start cycling through multiple SSID's (including ones I did not select(?)), or appear to connect but not obtain a DHCP address and no network connectivity. Manually setting the IP in this case doesn't work either. This driver was working well previously, so I'm not sure what happened, something seems to have gotten messed up... I will try to post some logs later tonight when I can get back to my 'tosh if that will help.

EDIT: This is only the 10.5 version I am referring to FYI...

Same again from iwi3945 version 891.

installed kext fine, rebooted fine first time.


Hope this stuff is proving useful.....

@irBOrNE
read the 1st post and build iwi2200.dmg
i'll help you if you can't

last log is the worst i've ever seen
at leat look at linux log to know what to search for
can someone post a good tested log for this
the driver is sending a reassoc response

Javalui, I have tried the last 3 versions, and i dont post log cause i cant find anything useful on them.

Is supossed we have to try the card starts correctly and then get a kp, post here the pic so you can see the details, is that right?

Everytime i can get my card start correctly, it just freeze, dont give any KP
And when the card start incorrectly, then gives the famous SYS ASSERT.

here are my logs for today! it found 2 networks it could attach to but didn't join them.

OK, I would like to give it a try tonight or tomorrow when I am back at my Leo machine and have some time to walk through learning this procedure (especially now that we have the great tutorial from devoid!) Otherwise, if someone has these tools already installed and would like to go for it ahead of me, feel free to do so, as I don't want to keep others waiting..

What kernel is needed for this to work??

Hey all,

899 xboot, manual load. Loads for about 15 seconds, then hard freeze.

Click to view attachment

this should work better

iwi3945 rel 900
iwi4965 rel 901

900 log. Regular boot, manual kexload. Correct me if I'mwrong, but it looks like it loads well, gets a Microcode HW error, reboots, gets a UCode error, then loops?

Going to go test a few more times...

Click to view attachment

Update: -x boot gives me immediate kp on kextload.

when the driver gets this
IWL_DEBUG_INFO("ALIVE processing complete.\n");
it's ready for 1st scan
this call fires up also after using the switch off/on
i'll add a scan call to this and upload to svn

iwi3945 rel 902
iwi4965 rel 903

here is a nother linux log just incase it might help.




ALSO THE LOGS FROM THE NEWEST DRIVER RELEASE!!!
here are the logs from the latest release hope these help! let me know if you need more than this!

another 3945 linux log

mac80211-10.0.4
iwlwifi-3945-ucode-2.14.1.5
iwlwifi-1.2.25

here are logs from rev903, wiw4965. I have them upon install and restart. No KP but it took a while to start the OS up on restart. It loaded only after like 5 minutes of text for the 4965 scrolling across the screen. It was too fast, but attached is the copy of system.log from the reboot. I honestly don't know how to read this stuff, so I appologize if the log is no good. Hopefully it will help though

also, i got an error when compiling the kext. Did anyone else? And if you didn't can you post your kext and ill retest using it?

I also get an error trying to compile the kext

this is very interesting the scan loops with a 20 seconds delay - nop seems to be manual?
can you post this log with associate/disassociate/rfkill actions

iwi3945/4965
need log with lines from driver startup

scan loop
iwi3945 rel 904
iwi4965 rel 905

pere,
can you try other values for iosleep hack? might make the driver more stable

Katched a KP finally.

Iwi 3945 last version.

Log from reboot. (Have ucode errors).

EDIT:
Going to try the iosleep hacks.


EDIT 2:

After raise the iosleep to 4000, get a little bit more, stable, still have time outs on transmit rx on.

Log attached.

iwi3945 rel 902No KP of freezes, but I take error "en1 not running", and no 1st scan init.iwi3945 rel 904First 2 reboots -> freezes, then norm. Still have "en1 not running", it's something with "if (!netif_running(dev))"? BTW, I take an error when building kexts (902, 904), shot is below. Some script?

yep, you're right
let's fix it

iwi3945 rel 906
iwi4965 rel 907

last version for today

pere,
i change the call to ieeeopen
this can change driver stability - the drive will only start loading after call enable()
can you test? - i mean hack
i think if you hack the way the driver calls ieeeopen (eg. split commands) you get more stability

the password bug is because the "sudo" commands don't work in xcode for 10.5 - try to use your root account
