randomblame Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Lets keep this thread clean guys no more useless posts, unless you have something to say that will progress the development of a driver then do not post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennyxx82 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 how can i see intel 2200B with airport module and how can activate the power on button of wireless sorry for my easy english but i'm italian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inmotion Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 denny what do you mean by "see" intel 2200B? if you mean to make it work and be able to connect to an access point then you're out of luck. this tread is all about waiting for the driver.... possibly the 4th... so keep a lookout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuxx Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 @denny Activating Power buttons shldnt be too hard. For now its possibly best we get the driver functioning first. On most notebooks its possible to activate the WLan in a different OS (say winXP) and reboot to MacOSX w/o completely shutting down (keep the power cable connected). Many notebooks have so called "software switches" including mine.. i checked the software switch driver for linux and freebsd.. it doesnt seem too hard to implement. But thats something we really should work on once we have a working driver tuxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autoy Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Yes, in fact most laptops enable and disable wifi by using a combination of Fn+Fx keys, and also Fn+Fx does work for me to handle screen brightness (but not speaker volume for example). had before another notebook that under 10.4.1 even displayed graphical values for volume and screen brightness with this very same combination of keys.

planetbeing Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I don't need this driver, but I'm curious about the development. You implied that there's no 802.11 framework in Apple, but couldn't you take existing wireless code for OS X (like from http://wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net/) and modify it to tailor it to your device? It seems like a very, very doable thing, just requires some time. (Oh, and tuxx, I've just recently realized that your code was one of the examples I read to help me create my nForce LAN driver. I didn't actually realize your code wasn't working yet until I read this thread [i only needed to make sure I was preparing the memory mapping correctly... wasn't at first]. So thanks ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuxx Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 glad the code was useful for something memory mapping caused alot of headache and begging for help on the driver mailinglist for me too Specially it being the first driver i wrote. Its not as simple as just taking code from wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net since theyve only provided drivers for wlan cards which have the 820.11 routines implemented in the firmware which is loaded to the card. It seems that most of the 820.11 work for the intel 2200bg is done by the firmware too. But the accesspoint association needs to be done by the driver itself :/ This is all unconfirmed Information which I got from the author of the atheros wlan driver (and several other drivers), after he looked into my work. So acctually for anyone who is a bit more talented than me (or has more time) this really shldnt be that hard.. I will try to find some time to finish this project in a few weeks and hopefully will be able to work together with dlbogdan. until then i have to work on passing my exams tuxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave911la Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 so from all this, what i understand is that there is still no way to get the intel wireless adapter to work or is there? sorry but these 14 pages of junk got me confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacOSXx86Newbie Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 It would be nice to finally get it working & released. Because to me, a OSX is more appealing than the next (and previous) Windows Oparating Systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killjoy Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Well i know you all hate me know for talkin trash. I just wanted to say mad respect for all you guys waiting for the driver. I just got my Dell truemobile and it works great even in this warehouse at my work. Just put the thing in and up it came. I figure we all got this for free it won't hurt to pay 40 bucks to get wireless. Oh yea and donate to the project or go hit a Ad. yo! i'm out and wireless!

Zaico Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 It's not the wrong forum.. I'm just happy, like Gilmore. And I'm happy that I'm not going to need or wait for a driver... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woutey Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Let me know if you need some help. I know how to program cpp and some other languages. Haven't got many networking experience though. Maybe it's an idea to make a wiki for the sourcecode files. So that everybody can look at it and add some comments. I'll offer webspace to do it. Let me know, I will be in this topic. If not.. Succes programming, I'm very interested whether this is going to work or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
