Intel Wireless Drivers [OSx86]

[AvPyro]

turn the card on in windows

It always turned on in Windows.

a good card for testing will be 4965. 3945 card's firmware is less stable

I have Acer 8930 with 5100 card.

 

Should I repeat steps which you wrote?

[edusui]

People, good news, mercurysquad has released a driver for 3945 that works on OS X leopard, i asked about similarities among 3945 and 5100 and this is the answer:

 

yes from what I saw in the linux drivers, all intel wifi cards from 3945 up are similar and need small modifications and adjustments only.

 

so if we are lucky , will be a 5100 kext soon

[vodert]

Hi I have a MSI megabook, it has intel 3945 wifi, I can't install wifi driver,

when I installed it wants restart,restart again and restart

This is from a D830 running an iAtkos install of 10.5.7. It gets a kernel panic as soon as the driver is installed.

 

 

 

Hope this helps.

[tpm5061]

Hey, I got the driver install for 3945 from mercurysquad, it now sees the card, and knows it is exist part of the time. but airport utility doesn't always see it. I also can't connect to an unsecured network.

[bentenuebe]

anybody else here tried installing mercurysquad's release? got kernel panic once i've turned on the wifi

[jalavoui]

iwidarwin project

 

since mercuryquad finally got it working and because i think he deserve to get some contribution for is driver i'll stop iwidarwin until he's happy with people donations.

 

i do know how hard is to write a driver and you should all understand that instead of complaining and demanding WPA stuff, etc you should contribute to is project.

 

for those who don't agree you can always get iwidarwin source code from svn tree and finish the code to make the driver work. you can do this for free if you have the knowledge and want a free driver.

i'll not help on this because i think mercurysquad work's should be in a near future in iwidarwin svn tree

 

further development should be done with is new code when time is right

in my opinion 4965 code is already working

5000, 6000 and 1000 cards will depend on firmware stability (as shown by intel linux sources)

 

this thread is open for driver development discussions only

[shd]

in your opinian, witch 4965 is working? =)

[dapurno]

Anyone that has an idea how to modify Voodoo Intel 3945: pre-alpha for the 4695AGN card? I am willing to test this on my laptop...

 

When I remove the card the bluetooth stops working, so the driver does something. This also could be the Iwifi driver..

[AvPyro]

AvPyro - you can also test this with 5100. any intel card is good for testing at this stage - KP )

toke kext from first post and retrieve next

What does it mean?

 

previously download kext from iwidarwin

 

both version didn't contain Network selector !?

[dawntodon]

I seem to get a kernel panic seconds after installing the latest (as of 11/22/09) 2100 kext using the pkg. The whole computer freezes up even before I get a chance to reach for "restart." I do resolve these panics by removing the kext while booted into single user mode. I don't know how to record the pertinent logs for development purposes. am I doing something completely off here? I figure I am since iwi2100 is described in this thread as fully working. I'm running the latest SVN version on 10.5.6, since the stable version seems to be only for 10.4.x. Thanks guys!

Hi Guys,

 

Great job on everything so far!

 

I've got a Lenovo T400 running an intel 5100AGN, so if there's anything i can do (i'm a relative noob..) to help then let me know.

 

Cheers,

 

Chris.

Hello everyone.

Does anyone have any solution even momentarily for intel 5100 wifi card to work in Snow

Leopard 10.6?

[Eanes]

Hello guys!

 

I've installed the 5100 kext, to see the KP logs . Pc had recognize the card, but that's all. No internet and, by the way, no KP (erf, well, there are KP of course, due to the ACPI, like Ubuntu, but OSX boot correctly (1/3 of the time).They didn't comes from the kext)

[sluncei]

hi, i used this iwifi.kext for my wifi 4956

 

but wifi doesnt work

 

and what is this

i dont know

[sluncei]

no one ?

[xxxrichievxxx]

I am using Intel® PRO/Wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g (3945ABG) and Mercurygroup got a driver that makes OSX view your wifi card Look for networks.. but it doesnt connect.. and the wifi turns off...

 

Maybe all you can join in and help in? XD

Hi all...guys, we need this great favor from your habilities...please, give us a happy new year with this so dream kext for intel 5100 agn!!! I hope you have great year on 2010!!! Tks for all !!!

[trabbikevin]

Sorry for asking but..

 

Is there anything new about the Intel 5100 AGN ?

 

If not, what should I get instead of it ? What is recognized as Airport and will work without work with kexts etc. ?

 

 

I really think it's weird that most of the current net and notebooks don't have a OSX-compatible wifi card.. I got my old laptop with a 2200 bg.. but it doesn't fit in my new laptop with the mini wifi card.

[paintballerwhiz]

Hi all

But I was wondering if it would be possible to patch the ralink usb wireless utility to work with the intel card. I bought a belkin card because the intel 5100 on my computer doesn't work yet, and the belkin card shows up (like you said the intel card was) as ethernet. The ralink app pops up every time the card gets plugged in. The app acts like the airport utility, and it lets you choose between wireless networks the card picks up. So the card connects to the network, and the computer is fooled into thinking that you have an ethernet cable plugged in.

This isn't meant as a permanent fix, just to get pressure off the project so it can be done perfectly and not rushed.

[edgecrush3r]

can someone please release this kext for 64-bit snow leopard?

seems the kext is loading fine under x32 but now my other drivers are corrupted.

 

thanks,

tony

there is no kext. Not for x32 and not for x64...
