I've been watching this thread for about a month. I realize that the 3945 is not going to be up and running for a while. I have tried a few of the .dmg's with no success, so I ebay'd a 2915 for less than $20

Jalavoui:
I got a KP(grey screen of death) when i mounted the kext with the kexhelper application, but i coulndt get any logs. of course i get the same KP whle trying to boot normally. will try with -v to see what happens.
then i booted with -s and loaded the driver manually with the kextload command and got the screen i posted. How do i make it crash booting with -s? the thing is that the screen freezes there and still after 15min it was still like that.

Apr 8 2008, 11:01 AM

jalavoui, using iwi3945 rel 671 I get KP immediately (Kalyway 10.5.2).

I added the following markers in the code:

CODE

static int ieee80211_open(struct net_device *dev)
{
    printf("CAH: 1\n");
    IM_HERE_NOW();
    printf("CAH: 2\n");

    struct ieee80211_sub_if_data *sdata, *nsdata;
    printf("CAH: 3\n");
    struct ieee80211_local *local = (ieee80211_local*)wdev_priv(dev->ieee80211_ptr);
    printf("CAH: 4\n");
    struct ieee80211_if_init_conf conf;
    printf("CAH: 5\n");
    int res;
    printf("CAH: 6\n");

    sdata = (struct ieee80211_sub_if_data*)IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF(dev);
    printf("CAH: 7\n");
    //read_lock(&local->sub_if_lock);
    list_for_each_entry(nsdata, &local->sub_if_list, list) {
        printf("CAH: 7a\n");
        struct net_device *ndev = nsdata->dev;

        printf("CAH: 7b\n");
        if (ndev != dev && ndev != local->mdev /*&& netif_running(ndev)*/ &&
            compare_ether_addr(dev->dev_addr, ndev->dev_addr) == 0 &&
            !identical_mac_addr_allowed(sdata->type, nsdata->type)) {
            //read_unlock(&local->sub_if_lock);
            printf("CAH: 7c\n");
            return -1;//-ENOTUNIQ;
        }
        printf("CAH: 7d\n");
    }
    //read_unlock(&local->sub_if_lock);

    printf("CAH: 8\n");

The last marker I see on the console (the line before the KP) is 'CAH: 7' so I think the line 'list_for_each_entry(nsdata, &local->sub_if_list, list)' is giving me the KP.

P.S I don't have a digital camera here to take a photo of the KP screen.

        return -ENOLINK;

    if (sdata->type == IEEE80211_IF_TYPE_MNTR && local->open_count &&
        !(local->hw.flags & IEEE80211_HW_MONITOR_DURING_OPER)) {
        /* run the interface in a "soft monitor" mode */
        printf("CAH: 9\n");
        local->monitors++;

        local->open_count++;
        printf("CAH: 11\n");
        //local->hw.conf.flags |= IEEE80211_CONF_RADIOTAP;
        return 0;
    }
    printf("CAH: 12\n");
    //ieee80211_start_soft_monitor(local);

    conf.if_id = dev->ifindex;
    printf("CAH: 13\n");
    conf.type = sdata->type;
    printf("CAH: 14\n");
    conf.mac_addr = dev->dev_addr;
    printf("CAH: 15\n");
    res = local->ops->add_interface(local_to_hw(local), &conf);
    printf("CAH: 16\n");
    if (res) {
        if (sdata->type == IEEE80211_IF_TYPE_MNTR)
            ieee80211_start_hard_monitor(local);
            printf("CAH: 17\n");
        return res;
    }

    printf("CAH: 18\n");

Last marker before KP in my console is now 'CAH: 15'. Looks like line 'res = local->ops->add_interface(local_to_hw(local), &conf);' now generates KP.

Once the 3945 is working it should only take a little while to transfer it to 4965. Don't worry, I can't wait for that day as well.

i think he meant : if it's that easy to modify it for 4965 , why not someone put the driver up there , so we 4965 users could join the beta testers club , and send some log files to help this community altogether.

or just please let us know what files have to be changed ? what 'lines' or 'codes' have to be added or replaced into driver source files. i think we can make these changes if someone could explain us one by one for 4965. i think the rest is compiling the driver and installing.

the point is instead of waiting here till it would be done for 3945, we would like send more logs as much as we could to help TWN , jalavoui and the other skilled developers here to make the driver ready for us soon.

Guys, all of you, that get ioctl() from networkSelector and unresolved symbols while kextload'ing driwer used PowerBook (or what?) .dmg. It's now suitable for PC's. Please use, SVN and xcodebuild kext by yourself, or use one in the .zip archives that's attached, but think that's not neccesary, since by that moment all KPs are logged and screenshotted

After the latest major steps forward into creating decent drivers for the much wanted intel wifi adapters we got built in, bought and otherwise own.
There has been made a dedicated irc channel to speed things up, get better feeback and overall control over this magnificent progress

I figured it would be a better chance to get the logs, Kp-screenshots and improve communication between the creators and supporters.
The irc channel is called #intelwifi
and is found inside:

by some reason i can't see in logs the driver is restarting and causing a kp

please use kextload to test this (after boot mac os x)
them goto console and use reload to get ALL system.log lines from driver start
copy and past to a text file
zip it and upload here
otherwise i don't understand what the driver is doing
check Sousuke last log
if you don't get similiar log reboot, use kextload and try again

looks like the driver is scanning
to see what's wrong i've enabled full debug output
