Jalouvi, I have an Intel 4965 on an HP laptop and will be fully willing to help you code a 4965 driver, I can have XCode up and running in a couple of hours.

Good to hear news from you Jalavoui, that means the 3945 has hope still!
I will gladly test or help in any way i can

I have an HP laptop with a 4965AGN wireless adapter. I can't code anything, but if there's some way I can help, please let me know. smile.gif

I would just like to offer my thanks in advance for the 3945 driver.

having internal wireless would be nice.

BTW, off topic a bit, but does anyone know of a working EXTERNAL adapter?

hey guys, i'm was reading over this forum and i remembered that when i ran ubuntu live cd (7.10 version) i got my intel 4965agn working without installing anything, so, i don't know if somebody posted this information yet, but in case, i think that as it's mentioned that linux drivers could be helpfull, i think that this one could too.

My laptop is:
hp dv2660br (yes, brazilian boy here =] );
core 2 duo T5250;
gma x3100 (with hardware accelerated in osx all compitations);
intel 965 express chipset;
fujitsu mhw2120bh hard-drive
dvd-rw;
and a hateable an {censored}eable alps tuchpad (i got crazy cause it gots too, i want to burn it on)
HP touch buttons and HP remote works fine;

what's not wirking yet:
chicony 1.3 mpx hp webcam (works only with ichat | in photobooth the blue led turn on but no image)
ricoh sd/xd/mmc/ms/ms-pro card-reader


ps. sorry for my bad english

The iwidarwin drivers are actually based on the iwiwifi driver that Intel is developing for Linux.

But coding kexts isn't something you can learn in one week it seems

You can... if you know C++. For those interested, read the Apple docs, it's not just one page, but actually pretty extensive. Let's stop whining and start contributing?

i'll take a look

if i have the hardware the driver will take 2 days to work - you can help by making donations on iwidarwin site.
the drivers aren't stable -


I have a working iwi3945 mini card that I replaced with a Dell Truemoble card-- I could donate the 3945 to the effort..let me know.

as Jayman , i too now have working spare 3945 card biggrin.gif ( i got my dell 1490 working wuhoooooo )

Anyone here has the 3945ABG working yet?
fernando.kreutz
hi guys, as Mostly sad, i have no kernel panic too, but, a little strange thing: when i tried to connect to my wlan (associate) in network selector i got the same looping problem, that i posted in issues at iwidarwin in google code. When i checked in my wireless router, i saw that my 4965agn got connected with ( i think partly), it is a tp-link tl-wr541g, so i checked in dhcp clients and i saw that i got an ip but in client name, i got none, so, i don't know what happend, but i know that my wlan router reported the new client, so i think i could help whit this information. As the topic "how to test javouli drivers" i saved the log, i'll post it later.

thanks and congratulations for jalavoui and other guys who are working on this project.

---EDIT---
Well, as i sad, now i attached the log file of the install and the partial association

he needs a laptop with the mini pcie socket so. since his is just pcie i believe. but yea if it was just a matter of having the card this would of been stable and working like a year and a half ago.

Yea I knew that, but I would think that developing a driver using more than one card might be useful due to hardware revisions and other differences in 3945abg WiFi Cards.

Geeze, I was just offering a spare card I had if it would be any help...

Hi,
I have a T61 laptop with 4965ABG card but all the references I see on the forum are for 4965AGN (I know for sure my card does not support the N networks because when I check it on windows it only refer to A B or G)

My question is, when the 4965AGN driver will be ready will it work also for the 4965ABG? does anyone else have this type of Intel Wireless model??

Are you sure it isn't a 3945ABG? Check Windows Device Manager.
fernando.kreutz
4965agn is a card for draft n and a b g wireless networks, pressing crt+shift+esc in windows, you'll get into task manager, click in performance tab and check the speed of the wireless network adaptor. You'll notice that it shows up to 300 mbit per second, that is the maximum speed of draft n wireless network.

As you can see, It says A or B / G.....

You might just have N disabled. Is it actually called a 4965AG in device manager (as in the title of the device)?

Yep.... and it does not give me any N options...
booger_sniffer5000
That's pretty weird. But I would imagine that the 4965AGN driver would work with the 4965AG card.

Jalavoui already had 150 €, he needs 300 €

fernando.kreutz
glad2hear, did you have the lastest 4965agn drivers? try downloading it on intel's website. If you still not seeing any option in device manager of the n channel, try downloading intel's wireless manager, in intel's website. I suppose that you're using windows xp, i'm using windows vista and it shows an option to select 20 mhz and disabled for n channel. I'll post a printscreen of it later. =] ,

Der-3 as you sad, he needs more money, but i'm brazilian and i don't know exatly what i need to do for sending money to him, cause i never used paypal. If tou could write a little post how to, i'll be really happy.

As Javaloui needs a pc with this wireless card, e-mailed him offering my notebook to use in remote assistance, i don't know if it helps, but it's better than nothing, i dont know if Javouli received my e-mail.
zecaribroute
OH man !! YOu have a greatfull idea !! he can keep money, if he use the PC trought netowrk by remote dekstop distance !!

i can try to help him like thaht, but i don't know how use VNC on mac ^^, but i have internet by ethernet so he could connect to this !

My pc is a laptop dell inspiron 1520 with the 3945

And the network work fine with the driver u've done with terminal, he has find my wireless !

BUt he don't know it like airport so i can't conect to it :s


If any help i'm here !

at the very least, we can do with some replies from jalavoui right? at least we can know what's the progress, rather than cling on to nothing?

jalavoui ,

thks a million!

working on dell d610 latitude with Intel Pro 2200bg.

A HOWTO ?

I would say simply : create a Paypal account and choose to make a gift to : jalavoui@gmail.com

Some screencaps of Paypal would be helpful, but my account is in French, so it wouldn't help a lot biggrin.gif

Why he not buy the intel 3945abg card at ebay?
The card cost at ebay $17.77
krrr
he says he needs laptop too. so just card wont do.

I have an asus g1s and it has the 4965bgn card I dont know if this is a just a usa version or what but im almost certain it does not support a because it is slow. Maybe the hangups lie there. In fact I am positive it is BGN.

I've got a 2200bg in my Thinkpad T43. I can connect to my router if WEP is off.. but as soon as it's enabled I can't seem to get anywhere. I've tried entering the password (1st wep key) with colons or not... mine is 10 digits like this aa:bb:cc:dd:ee - is this correct? I always get a bus error. Any hints? I've read through some of the posts made by 2200bg owners & WEP, the only complaint was that they had to manually enter this each time for connection so it must work and I'm obviously doing something wrong!

PS. I also can't load nsGUI. I click it and nothing shows up (both SVN and stable versions)

Lawl. The drivers don't work at all. You can't connect to a network, and they still may give you a kernel panic. So don't use them yet.
