iwi3945 rel 1056 -> no KP after installation, scan loop in logs

get immediate KP after sending "reboot" terminal command, then all 3 reboots w/o KP's. 2nd was with uCode errors.

Also tried 1056

Fine so far no KP
Scans seems to run in terminal

Here is log for iwi4965 1057 and the kext.
No KP on load and reboot, the kext is not unloadable,trying to unload it freeze the hack

@3945, Why we always stuck in scanning, when can we join a network and surf? Plz, tell me the reason, i'm so discouraged.

because driver development is a tough thing. Apple has teams of people with all the resources they need to do this, but Jal doesn't even have the device he is trying to develop a driver for!

YAP, and a big and great work.
I am sorry because i can not help so much but i would like to contribute at least with
10€ if you jalavoui give me your paypal account.

I don't want to buy another card because i belive that will be soon.

To others wo doesn't know like me how to contribute, mabe they could do the same instead of spend
30€ in another card because if you think right, wen the driver is finished you will have like a new card
3945 JALAVOUI card

Thanks again to everyone for the great effort.

iwi3945/4965
i need help fixing tx packet code
to do so just comment this code
in ieee80211_sta_start_scan()
change code to
/*if (!rc) {
local->sta_scanning = 1;
local->scan_dev = dev;
}
return rc;*/
this will force sending packets for probe and will give kp on tx code
try to fix it and post the patch

i'll add this to 1st post
thanks for helping

Hi,

I Have iwi2200 on Leopard 10.5.1.

My network is encrypted in WEP. I’ve tried to connect to it and it gives me a ” Bus Error ” in NetworkSelector.

Any solution?

Thanks

compiling errors

are you sure you are using a root account to compile?

jalavoui - I've changed the code and get KP's on install and reboot, no shots... I can insert iologs, but where?

this is log of my reboots with KP's

Guys! Here is my kext, try it, please, and post your KP shots, if you will get any. Be careful, this kext can cause KP right after installation

the pskb_expand_head() don't make sence for mbufs
i'll upload a new version

i'll try this myself maybe i manage to put it to work

fix for rate code

1062 - still KP's. Maybe, something wrong with my panic debugger? - I see its logs rarely. Maybe, I should make some changes in my system settings to enable panic debugger instead of blue screens?

1064 - KP...

I think we need more testers with 3945, in order to take several (maybe, different) results from the same release.

Эй, народ! Нужна ваша помощь! Если мы будем тестировать все это по одиночке, драйвер может вообще никогда не появится!

Hey devoid, the 10.5 iwi2200 rev 803 pkg you posted does load the kext correctly now, but indeed cannot get a DHCP address (also won't work for me when I set a static IP). So it's closer but still no dice. I had another post about rev 786 working, would you mind creating a pkg for that revision for us if not too much trouble? I'll give it a test and see if that one was working. Again, this WAS working well at some point in there, just gotta find the right revision. Many thanks!

EDIT: This is being tested on 10.5.2 BTW. I'm assuming there shouldn't be any difference with the driver functionality from 10.5.1-->10.5.2...

To unload kernel extensions (kext, drivers, w/e you want to call them..)
Load up OS X with -v -s flags, and run the following commands:
mount -uw /
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/iwi*
exit

Everything is detailed in http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=71779


Alright, I'll get on it within an hour or so, check this post for an attachment. Done.
There shouldn't be any difference between 10.5.1 and 10.5.2, in terms of the kernel extension working.


I'm still in high school, and I can certainly say without a doubt that the basic knowledge they attempt to teach you at the high-school level won't be of much use here.
(I haven't actually taken the course, but I've helped friends taking it)
It'd probably depend on what level course you're taking, but from my past experience, most of the knowledge that would be applied here is best obtained through years of messing around, and not through a year-long course.
You might be able to make a few edits with instruction to get some portions of the code functioning properly, but don't expect to get ground-breaking work done.
Don't let that discourage you, though. Any help is appreciated, so give it a shot.

Testing in VMware is impossible at this point in time. Mini-PCI cards such as the ones the drivers are being developed for in here, just won't be detected.
USB adapters would work, but just not the Intel Mini-PCI cards.

Try NVInject to get the NVidia 8400M GT working.



Typically, testing should not make any irreversible system changes, but there's always that odd chance that something forks your system.
The worst that usually happens is that the kernel extensions cause a kernel panic. All you need to fix that, is unload the .kext.
I recall that someone had to reinstall Leopard in this thread, so if reinstalling Mac OS X is not in the list of things you wish to deal with, steer clear.


Also, please keep unnecessary posts to a minimum. This topic is already hard enough to search through, as is.

Объясни плиз, как тестить.. я присоединюсь

Whoops, looks like the attachment on that topic is broken now. I actually have no idea which revision was included with it. I just stumbled upon that topic a while ago :]

My best recommendation right now is to try the 803 revision again. Fiddle around with it for a while, as there's been more than one report of success with it, using a static IP.

kp fixed
look in logs for rx beacons
i'll try to find a way to send probe requests if this version is stable

one question: is the acer aspire 5920g wifi = 4965agn ???

iwi3945 rel 1070 -> no KP, errors and timeouts, only 4th or 5th reboot was ok

No, the acer aspire has a 3945 A/B/G wireless card, as you can see here:

I'll tried to play with revision 803 some more and do some tweaks, make sure permissions/ownership is all correct, using a static IP (also trying DHCP), still can't get it to work. Also using the method that one page suggests, still no luck..



I will give this a try later today. From what you're saying, it sounds like I should be able to grab the needed iwi2200 files from 10.4 SVN latest, replace the Info.Plist with the one you attached, and give it a try.. Will give this a try and report back...
