Thanks, Tamas There's already a 2100 kext in the works, and it's already using parts of the Linux driver as references. Driver code cannot just be copied/pasted/compiled from Linux/BSD to Mac OS X/Darwin. Almost all of the code needs to be re-written in IOKit/Objective-C as Linux/BSD uses standard C code.

jalavoui Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 i do hope this new versions do something... the iwi3945 now uses the firmware "iwlwifi-ucode-2.14.1" i added some code to both drivers from iwi2200 thanks i'm getting anoyed with the google site and with the https svn can someone point a site with no https svn commit? i'm unable to commit to the google site and i'm tired of wast my time trying i believe there's a place in xlabs - anyone know how does it work? about the code in iwlwifi-0.0.6 for iwi3945 driver: the code uses functions found in ieee80211 library wich are also used in iwi2100 and iwi2200 it's better to stay with ieee80211 instead of using the iwlwifi code wich only works for the iwi3945 driver if i use all the code found in iwlwifi it will be better to star over and write a new driver for what i read, the new firmware works without the daemon please post logs iwi2100_v3.dmg iwi3945_v4.dmg Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36976-intel-wireless-driver/page/27/#findComment-302154 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoLL Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) First, thanks for your work. Tested iwi3945 V4 on FSC Amilo S1520 (i945GM). BT/WLAN doesn't seem to work (BT worked before) but both is chown : - BT is listed but disabled - airport is listed but without mac address chown in prefs. Wifi/BT switch doesn't change anything.

This newer version of the driver is not having this option and even after adding it to info.plist it just cannot connect to my wifi network... Did you forget to implement this or was this being done on purpose (so users on 10.4.8 can not test this)?

jalavoui Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 thanks for testing sorry for the crashes iwi3945 i only see a log with the firmware loading. hmmm to test the driver you need the correct io80211 framework... i'll not talk of this again need to add the aiport in system preferences need to unplug other network cards doing this should let the driver go to the firmware loading - wich is what i'm trying to make work maybe the bluetooth controler is interfering with iwi3945 - disable it and test again iwi2200 i'm trying to make a better rx speed - just trying i included the p_10.4.8 as default , so don't need to hack it in info.plist i find it usefull for both 10.4.7 or 10.4.8 io80211 frameworks the installer trys to uninstall previous version of iwi2200 and them ask to reboot just remeber - to make a stable version testing is needed i'm using the 10.4.8 io80211 framework from apple's update (it's easyer to install - just copy the files with pacifist) mac os x 10.4.8 is quite stable with beta9 kernel perhaps you get less crashes if change to this version bluetooth: i can't use it in mac os x, but i have a iwi2200 card does it work for iwi3945 and iwi2100 cards? in future i'll build code to have bluetooth support in iwi2200 - only after the drive works the bluetooth requires and extension. it's probally not compatible with the iwixxx controller jalavoui....plz merge new features to trunk before posting this binarines.... as i explained before... i managed to get iwi2200 to work at full rx speed althought it's not stable i think i should get feedback from other users fell free to post test versions here that's one of the reasons of having this thread Here is my logs for v4 you seem to go to the firmware loading - that's a progress are you testing the driver with the ethernet card off? it fails if turned on do you have bluetooth in mac os x?
