Got Detected as Ethernet 2 , currently has no wi-fi hotspot closeby to test but i will try soon.
Here are my sys logs . Hope it helps
Great appreciation to you and other developers, Jalavoui. Cheers

post networkselector output
i don't know howto fix the associate code without the card
try a few scans - not shore if the driver scans all networks

can someone please post the networkSelector i also want to test but the networkSelector i have gives an error and the last time i installed the driver my card was detected as ethernet and i get the right mac address

just tried the latest version of iwi4965
it will scan and show the list of networks.
When i try to associate it says 'associating' then i get a kp
hope this is useful.

i tried to make a log using the script from code.google but the file was 3mb,
not sure if i used it correctly - how do i make a useful log?

the search now works fine, repeating it too don't hang the machine. Trying to associate cause a lock.Jalavoui, i'm a total newbie on c++, i see on the iwi4965.cpp source this row
if(opt == 3){
IOLOG("request associate\n");
but i never get this text string on my logs, so, or i'm totally out of the road or the code crash before trying to associate. These are the last lines of the log before it hangs.

first try a few scans - i don't know if the driver find all available networks
them - if you don't get timeout errors
try to associate a few times and check system.log

As far as I can tell, it's still under devolopment none has it fully working...

hmmz didn't see that I have to try many times to scan and connect, will post new log soon, here's mine scannen only one time (did find al networks around, and tried to associate)

no kp, no hangs

Here's new scan:

did 3-4 scans, and then tried to connect 2-3 times

must I do this :

Part II: Compiling the source from the SVN.

becaouse there is an installer .

nope, just downloade code from http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/
install it, run networkselector and post logs here

Thanks thomaske I'm gonna do a fresh install . and then try the iwi 3945 so ..


thanq you

Latest for 4965agn finds unprotected network (there is only one around here - my public fon network ).

i'm constantly getting "Could not get ID for kernel control. 2" errors when trying to run network selector. suggestions?

my log can't associate the one which need password

Can't get these to do anything! Installed drivers great no errors Reboot no prob Nothing added in network properties and netselector does nothing no options or anything

edit: is there a sertan kernal that needs to be used?? if so what kind where to dl and install it?

Seems working OK.. Find's all the networks I know from within windows...

before boot try to assiciate ok
after boot still kp

iwi3945/4965 driver status

- the driver scans and find networks using networkselector.app
- repeating the scan can show more networks
- associate to unsecure networks doesn't work
- the driver can get errors at startup (timeouts, fw errors, etc) that prevent it from working. the solution is a few reboots

at this point there's no reason to write more code. i'll finish the driver when i have the hardware
if this is not possible i hope someone else finish this project

thanks for keep iwidarwin running

i'd like to ask a moderator to close this thread
i'll open a new one once i have a solution for making the drivers work

i'll hope you have the hardware very soon
but thx anyway for all you've done

Wow, so sudden. Thanks again for all the work so far. I hope someone with your dedication and experience decides to pick up where you left off.

Thanks for everything, jalavoui! You rock!

hi have intel 4965g i tried to install driver but no new network devices showed up. I opened network selector it said
Macintosh:~ gregwilliamson$ /Applications/networkSelector ; exit;
Could not get ID for kernel control. 2
logout

[Process completed]
what am i doing wrong?

Let's send him a packet with sweets, caffeine, chocolate and a 3945 card. Or let's hope I learn how to do proper c fast enough to get this done... This is very likely not to happen so someone with good C skills... Please!

Thank you for the work you have done, not having seen the code I guess you are giving another dev the chance to finish almost finished code off.

After examns I got A whole month free
Maybe... If I feel called for it I'll try to work on it a bit.
At the moment don't know where to begin because I dont even know the I/O Toolkit

But.. Up for a challenge...
Anybody willing to join me in 2 weeks or so? ^^
Read about enough programmers here

can someone help please?

I also have a little C knowledge but I haven't programmed for mac yet, so I also don't know where to start

btw I'm also from belgium ^^

Did you get your dmg from here?
http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/

Did you download it for the correct card?

It's as simple as can be... Download the DMG install the package
Reboot
Start Networkselector
If you get this error the driver is not loaded,
so you downloaded the wrong driver or you downloaded an old version.



Well... What a coincidence.. from where? Or wait.. I'll PM you..
Don't think they all want to know ^^

no reason to close the thread like jav. said... we should still use it to communicate

install chunan's beta2 pccard package from here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=644897

I have the same problems as cheeseboy.

My Driver (PROSet/Wireless 3945a/b/g OS X 10.5) -> Last change: Yesterday, 10. Juni 2008, 20:36:08

And i don't get any changes ...
I only get a longer startUp ...
And a NetworkCard 2 and 3 ...

And I can't search for networks ...

I agree. I think it would be better to leave the thread open so that other potential devs have somewhere to post code updates during the time in which the project would otherwise be stalled. When Jalavoui gets the hardware for himself he could always have the mods close this thread so that he can start a fresh one if he wanted.

I didn't have much free time at all last week, and couldn't keep up with the pace of the code changes because of it, but I'll have much more for the next few weeks. Tomorrow I will work on the 3945 drivers, and post code changesif I make any progress.

I've installed the new iwi3945.kext date 10 june 2008 and no kernel panic, so far so good.
But when I start networkselector and type 1, it jumps back to the beginning Welcome to the....
What is wrong?

same here, i'm also trying to make progress. At least we know what the status of the driver is, it's a matter of time now.
if/when i make any progress on the 4965 driver i will drop a message here.

eenMadcat:

I don't have any programing experience and limited time, but I have a 4965 card. I can test following J's instructions and follow any directions you need. Again, I have limited time, so I can't promise anything.

i have the same problem, even after installing this package i still get stuck at the same spot

I've the same attitude.
You can count on me!

You can also write me in an IM-channel if you think it's faster (only in Windows )

If you search me in Skype I've the NicName: SimonSimCity
But pleace only if my status is "@home"

Well i have a card (4965), so no need for testing until i got it sorta working at my own laptop.
If i make any progress i'll post it here, the current status is a crashing driver when it's authorizing to the accesspoint.

If someone does have programing experience and willing to help, leave a PM.
Or if someone has knowledge of the wifi protocol, i know a few colleagues who might know a bit more about it then i do (read: zero knowledge)

i did a rollback to a few versions earlier, and i'm figuring out how i can associate to an accesspoint without crashing the driver
It might take some time, but if i have a few hours to spare i'll work at it.
But tonight the Netherlands will play agains France in the European soccer championship. (read: drinking beer and no computers involved)

Any chance that you could comment your code so we can take a look? That would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Driver for 3945 and 4965 doesn't work yet.
You can not connect to any network. Need too more development...
Before we find someone to help jalavoui with writing code or hi will buy laptop with 3945 or 4965 card, you can use external wi-fi devices like my USB wifi based on ZyDAS 1211B chipset.

I also have Intel 3945abg, but under System Profiler > Network > and AirPort Card, it says "No information found".

What's that mean? I thought you guys were at least having it detected! I have Kalyway 10.5.2, no kexts/drivers installed yet but audio, video, touchpad and everything else is working except for internet (wireless and ethernet).

i still cannot even use the network selector... i'm still getting the invalid kernel id. is this just part of the problem or am i just installing this package wrong??

the card isn't detected as an airport card ... it is detected as an ethernet card

Hello,

I recently get on hackintoshing... and managed to have the 10.5.2 working... now i'm trying to have 4965agn working... and landed here...

I got the driver from http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/ installed them, have them working by replacing

/System/Library/Extensions/IO80xxxFamilly.kext by /System/Library/Extensions/IO80xxxFamilly.kext.orig (Kalyway install)

Now networkselector works and even see the Network around... but it does not seem it is going much further...

I have installed XCode 3.0 and got the SVN source code installed... if I can be helpfull... let me know..
(i have programming skills, but nothing about kernel / drivers)

By the way, I have a "newbee" question... is the Mac OS version so different than the Linux version that can be found here :
http://linuxwireless.org/


Why is it so difficult to adapt from the Linux version ?

Regards,

Mathieu

Matioupi
I think, Linux drivers are quite different. FreeBSD is better, but quite different too. Anyway, nobody here haven't got experience of porting drivers from FreeBSD to Darwin...

My 3945BG card was detected as en1 using the latest SVN driver, but is not able to find any access points.

networkSelector doesn't do anything. Selecting any option just re-types the menu with no change.

attached are the dmesg, system, and ioreg logs.

I am willing to help if anybody can give me some directions.
