jalavoui - it's very hard to reesteblish my network connections after unplug, I waste an hour to setup all my network stuff back...

get KP with rel 995 and freezes, and timeouts

iwi 3945 rel 995

Yep, no matter the card starts with or without errors, always these are the last lines for me:

re:4965
little background:

I'm using tortoiseSVN to sync to a folder on my windows partition. I then reboot into OSX and copy the files to a folder on my desktop.


I'm able to build the kext however when I go to load it I'm getting unresolved symbols and it wont load. I tried using kextload and also via reboot. Anyone else experiencing this on the latest build?

Sorry about not having any logs, but I'm still trying to work out how to bounce back and forth and transfer data. Not having ANY network in OSX makes it a little difficult to move log files around.

Ok,
downloaded 3945 rev 996, compiled and built with all the warnings, added a sudo to the shell scripts so it wouldn't error out..
And this is the relevant part of my log.. It seems to be thinking the machine is in 'deep sleep' mode so doesn't wake up.

edit-

Which iwi2200 are you using, the 10.4 (Tiger) or 10.5 (Leo) version?

sorry about not being around for testing... now working full time in an ag chemical and seed retailer, but will test after work


here is my log for the 4965 r996

log seems short... don't know why... left to run for over an hour no kp:)

Edit: here are two better logs... the one has several reboots with the best log in it

r803, iwi2200-osx10.5, as far as I know
install scripts, nsGUI.app, networkSelector, and the kext are all linked in the pkg [basically, it should work]
You just have to select the revision on the SVN. (It's a bit hard to do in XCode, though, so I still use svnX)

bah, exams tomorrow :/
calculus = ew

Here's the log 4965 rev 996 right after I installed the kext.

The log kept rolling and would not stop increasing in size. I haven't tried networkSelector though because I don't know how that works. Whenver I tried an option it just returned me with another select option screen, and if I type in something weird the program loops forever and there are some weird things appear in the log (saying that trying to turn the network card off if i had selected 1, and scan -disabled! if i selected 2 and they kept repeating). If someone can give me a hint on how to use networkSelector to initiate a scan that would be great.

Sorry about my noobness ^^;;

iwi2200 rev 803 tested:
package installation OK
discovery network OK
Connection with DHCP doesn't work
Connection with Static IP OK!!

try first with kextload

iwi3945 rel 997
iwi4965 rel 998

How do I get in hands off theese ?


try first with kextload

iwi3945 rel 997
iwi4965 rel 998

I also wants to test...

rev 998 4965
no KP. I got the log when it's still small. Restarted still no KP.
haven't tried networkSelector yet as I don't know how to.
@sheringham: check http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=71779 . It took me a while to struggle with it though hopefully you won't be as bad ^^;;

post the full log
search for ieee80211_sta_config_auth in logs

Here is the new log. I found 1 in there.
r998 4965
Excuse my noobness ^^;;

No auth for me. But the driver is definitely more stable. After seeing such errors in the past was a near immediate KP

post edit: are those functions already there, or you need to implement those functions still?

the driver needs all this functions:
static ieee80211_tx_handler ieee80211_tx_handlers[] =
{
ieee80211_tx_h_check_assoc,
ieee80211_tx_h_sequence,
ieee80211_tx_h_ps_buf,
ieee80211_tx_h_select_key,

ieee80211_tx_h_load_stats,
NULL
};

iwi3945 rel 999
iwi4965 rel 1000

on my way to work... here is the log for 4965 r1000

iwl4965_mac_config_interface bssid: 00:1c:f0:40:1c:22
that is the mac address of my network:)

looking good... good luck today guys... should be back after work

r1000 4965
Here is the log
P.S no KP after several reboot. Driver seems fine

Still the same errors, although some different activity going on as it looks to start something, but fails due to the errors. Hope some other 3945 testers can try this out

iwi3945rel999 give it a try post your logs

auth work
if this don't work try to hack search in xcode for "authenticate stabssid="
to make the driver auth/assoc
it's easier to hack if you have the card
can't help more until someone fix this
thanks for helping

iwi3945 rel 1001
iwi4965 rel 1002

iwi4965 v100

I've made progress on getting log files off my machine now. I'm running into issues trying to get the module to even load.
in reading the install/testing guide as well as some other messages about testing I found what I believe to be the solution, but I dont know where/how to get the file in question.
First from the logs:
larryroberts$ sudo kextload -t iwi4965.kext

Password:

kernel extension iwi4965.kext has problems:

Missing dependencies:

{

"com.apple.iokit.IO80211Family" =

"A valid compatible version of this dependency cannot be found"

}




I read a couple threads about people replacing some kext with the original, but I dont know for sure which kext, or for that matter where to get the original. Would love to be able to help out more, but right now I'm still in noob mode.

Anyone care to share a little more insight?

Well did install the rel 999 for iwi3945 , but still not seem in the Mac info. ( under network)
See the log file. ( not sure if its the right one, BUT I hope it hope it can be to some use.

I have a question. When the driver is finished would it be an AirPort Driver? So will I need no extra Program like a real AirPort Card??
Sorry for my bad English..

Drakulix

r1002 4965
No more auth found. I let it run a bit more (the log is big now) and did a search but still no auth.
no KP. Gonna reboot now, if KP i ll post.
@sherringham: Can you open Network then press + (add) and check if there's an extra Ethernet available? (If you have Ethernet working already then there should be 2 Ethernet, otherwise there would be only 1). The new extra Ethernet is the one installed by the iwi kext. I had the same problem but then I found out that if I add that extra ethernet as a network there will be an extra ethernet with my 4965 Mac address under Mac Info.
@Drakulix: Read the google code website FAQ more carefully. No it will not be an airport, it will show up as an Ethernet network and you need an appropriate networkSelector to go with it.

P.S. How can you make such a small log? Mine's always so big >.< I dont know when to stop logging sorry >.<

REL 1001 - 3945

What we should try in this line Jalavoui?
Could you give me a example?

Regards,

@Sophitia : Well did try you advise but I dont seem to get an other unik device:
Just as there are two with same MAC adress

Ethernet:
Type: Ethernet
BSD Device Name: en0
Hardware (MAC) Address: 00:1c:df:31:c0:95
IPv4:
Configuration Method: DHCP
IPv6:
Configuration Method: Automatic
AppleTalk:
Configuration Method: Node
Proxies:
Exceptions List: *.local, 169.254/16
FTP Passive Mode: Yes
Intel Pro 3945:
Type: Ethernet
BSD Device Name: en0


What am I doing wrong?
Hardware (MAC) Address: 00:1c:df:31:c0:95
IPv4:
Configuration Method: DHCP
IPv6:
Configuration Method: Automatic
AppleTalk:
Configuration Method: Node
Proxies:
Exceptions List: *.local, 169.254/16
FTP Passive Mode: Yes

Did you try "Adding" new Ethernet? (Pressing the + ). If there are 2 Ethernets shown up in the drop box then it's installed.

Yes there are 2 Ethernet under devices there.. But the same MAC adress !!!!

rel1001 stil had the same errors for me. attached is iwi3945rel1001 for others to test. logs are much appreciated

Guys,
I have a question. I am about to download the latest software, but noticed that the network Selector software doesn't work.
It gives me the famounse error can't get control error 2 deal whereby the driver isn't loading.

Should this be happening?
Mark

iwi3945 rel 1001 -> immediate KP's after kext installation, timeouts on reboots

directions for driver testing are at the bottom of the first post on this thread.

Welcome aboard

Ok,
With 3945, rel 1002, it is not initializing the nic.
Not sure why, but here are the logs.
No KP at least.

iwi3945 rel1001

Instant freeze at kext install, no KP's at reboot. I am posting logs after 1st and 2nd reboot. Hope they help somehow...

P.S. Big thanks to Doctadre for posting the kext!

iwi 3945 new-osx10.5 rev 1001I had compile errors. I'm still a noob to the Mac way so if someone could help with these errors. The build failed for me.Stats:Kalyway 10.5.2Thinkpad T60iwi3945xcode 3.0build errors attached.I was using the instructions from: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=71779iwi3945 rel 1001I downloaded the kext that Doctadre posted ( http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...72&st=2120# ) and got these errors when loading it:May 7 16:27:17 dhcp-64-102-40-41 kextd[10]: cannot resolve dependencies for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/iwi3945.kextI'm thinking something is wrong with my setup...ideas?

this is a new way to start the driver - few hacks
kp expected
this rel is more linux like

iwi3945 rel 1003
iwi4965 rel 1004

Log for iwi 3945 1003.... we didnt celebrate the #1000 release!! Take some beers and cheers for Javalui!!!.

Needed a lot of reboots to get a log without errors and timeouts.

good - the card is linux setup
let's try a scan at enable() - it is not expected to loop

iwi3945 rel 1005
iwi4965 rel 1006

This is prolly it for me tonite, I'll be around roughly for another 30 mins. I kept getting timeouts. 1003 for 3945 for those to test. Later tonite I'll upload the last build if there is one for the day

{censored}, @ jala done it again. Preciate all your hard work gonna test the latest build

iwi3945 rel 1003 -> no KP's (but strange NSExceptionHandler records...), and timeouts after reboots. And no scan loop, as I can see

this is better
after driver load and get no timeouts it will scan once
use networkselector to start a scan
wait and check logs before call it again

iwi3945 rel 1007
iwi4965 rel 1008

iwi3945 rel 1007 -> no KP's, still timeouts

network selector doesn't scan - I get "request scan - disabled!"

scans with errors and then looks very interesting towards the end, then timeout. i forgot to do the network scan brb

check the svn code for "request scan "
it's enabled
you've got old source code?

remove last error from log
last release for today

iwi3945 rel 1009
iwi4965 rel 1010

IWI 39blabla rel 1007.

You are Right, after boot without timeouts, got 1 auto scan, then i did several with network selector, but just scans "a", dont scan "bg"
Going to test next version.


What are we looking for in the logs in 1009 version? , im scanning with network selector... added one manual scan log.

Thanks much devoid! I've downloaded your package, may have to be a day or two before I can get back to the 'tosh to test it myself. Will report back.... (Good luck on that calculus, GLAD to be done with that!)

iwi3945 rel 1009 -> no timeouts only at 4th reboot, network selector scans short time

log 1009 to timeouts

Hi all, here are my 3945 logs
one is a reboot
the other one is kext install

Click to view attachment
Click to view attachment------>On this one, i turned off the card, and did a networkselector scan

Great work, jalavoui!
I also have a 4965 card on leopard. I installed build 1010, and tried to use the network selector to scan/refresh/power off the card but it didn't do anything.
Unloading the kext crashed the pc.
Attached is the system.log from after loading the kext.
It kept returning messages about my bssid, and signal strength, but i built the debug version, not the release (if there is one).
