ok guys i dont want to be anoying but i want to test the versions and help with the logs but i cant fin the new versions!!!

i cant ind any versions atfter iwi3945v4 at http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/

sorry or my stupidity but were are the new versions?? please someone! i just want to help :)

 

acer travelmate 4283 with bcm5787m and iwi3945abg

I get kernel panic with v8 and V7 my ipw3945 card stays off

The attached logs are from the iwi3945 V7

 

Go to http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/downloads/list for the iwi2200 latest binaries

dmesg.txt

ioreg.txt

system.txt

"For the other questions please check out the FAQ"

 

Ok... but the English in the FAQ is really strange...

But lets put it this way, i have an 10.4.8 install on my ThinkPad, what additional files do i need except the "iwi3945v8.dmg"?

 

And if i get an kernel panic, wich files do i need to delete, to make the computer boot again.

Installed the latest version of the driver shows as built in ethernet in network settings, connects and gets an IP address, Added in dns servers and managed to browse the internet, but it was really slow and then crashed after a few mins - You need to restart your computer. :hysterical: so close!

hi,all.

 

this is only for iwi2200 user.

 

Are There someone which cannot associate the network in newest version posted by jalavoui?

(especialy 2945abg user)

 

I fixed the problem in current trunk.

if someone can use xcode, plz build current trunk and test it.

 

if someone want binaries ,I will post binaries.

 

Please post the binaries, I am unfamilair with XCODE.

 

Thanks!

no

 

you have to get the 10.4.5

 

the 10.4.6

 

and the 10.4.7

 

extract all files from 10.4.5 to a folder

 

overwrite with files from 10.4.6 and 10.4.7

 

this gives some work

 

better to use the files from 10.4.8 - extract only once and it's done

 

i've explain all this in previous posts

 

Can you upload what we need?

First of all I would like to thank all those responsible for helping develop the these drivers and so forth, your time and effort is extremely appriciated. I tested the iwi3945 on my laptop (gateway nx100). The installation did disable my BT as it did for others as well. Posted are my logs. Hope they help. If there is anything else we, as beta testers, can do to assist in the process please let us know. Godspeed.

ok so . . . I'm not sure if I'm installing this right. I got the kext on my desktop, did sudo kextload (this was after I edited it btw) and nothing happened . .

 

I have a 2915ABG pro/wireless . . . am I doing something wrong here?

I'm using IO80211Family.kext and Apple80211.framework from MacOSXUpd10.4.8Intel (extracted with Pacifist).

I still have the well known Couldn't alloc class "darwin_iwi2100" message at boot...

i've tested this version today

 

it allows me to download a large file without crashes

 

we're almost ready to release a new iwi2200 stable version

 

i haven't mentioned before but

 

you all know that a .dmg files is a disk image

 

and that it's opened by the finder

 

no zip compression here

 

Sorry, was on vacation for a couple of days... Just came back home and installed the latest version of your iwi2200 driver...

 

Works great for me on 10.4.8 Beta 9 :unsure:

 

Amazing job!!!

 

Take care,

Tek_No

 

 

Edit: was just using Transmission to download a torrent... Crash: need to restart your computer :)

 

So apparently the latest version of the driver is not as stable as the previous one I was using (have to admit that I'm still using all original 10.4.8 kexts)

looks like you need to fix permissions - use Applications/Utilities/ disk utility to do that

 

you're using iwi2100_v3.dmg? that's the last build

 

looks like many users are getting trouble with the IO80211Family.kext and Apple80211.framework

 

can someone build a pkg or zip the files for 10.4.7 and 10.4.8 and make them available

 

i now it's not legal

 

but i really don't keer

iwi3945

 

more code fixing

 

if the driver crash try it by booting in -s mode

 

and post the last log lines here

 

this version is +/- ready to be checked in xcode

 

can someone try to do this?

 

i need someone willing to get xcode and try

iwi3945_v9.dmg

hi jalavoui . after v8 osx wont boot . i tried booting -s but nothing. then tried -s and sbin/fsck and /sbin/mount and tried to uninstall by

rm /System/Library/Extensions/iwi3945.kext

rm /System/Library/Extensions.*

kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions

and then reboot but still wont boot cause iwi3945 is still there

 

if there is another way to uninstall v8 and boot so i can install v9 and test it please say else i will just renstall osx

hi,all.

 

this is iwi2200's package in current unstale.

 

it is mainly 2945abg user ( fixed association fail in jalavoui's post version).

 

performance problem dont fix because there are another reason about performance issue.

 

 

changelogs:

 

r167:

* linkstate is down when abort scan.

 

r166:

* set IPW_RX_BUF_SIZE 2048 to avoid overflow in rx

 

r164:

* fixed Issue:33

fixed the problem which priv->mac_addr is not set.

 

 

warinig:

 

this is unstable package.

i dont consider kext dependency problem .

if dependency problem occurs , dont post it.

 

iwi2200_trunk_r168.dmg

First, v9 of the iwi3945 driver still gives me a kernel panic (picture attached).

 

Next,

iwi3945

more code fixing

i need someone willing to get xcode and try

 

What steps are needed to check it in xcode?

You need to boot from your OSx86 CD, then start the Terminal, THEN do the step

sudo -s

rm /Volumes/"YOURMACOSX86PARTITIONHERE"/System/Library/Extensions/iwi3945.kext

rm /Volumes/"YOURMACOSX86PARTITIONHERE"/System/Library/Extensions.*

kextcache -k /Volumes/"YOURMACOSX86PARTITIONHERE"/System/Library/Extensions

 

 

 

I did install the v8 drivers but got an kernel Panic

iwi2200_trunk_r168.dmg

 

Much better here, I can actually associate and use the network, but it is less stable than V6 and not any faster (Of course, you already knew this :()

 

Will revert to V6 for now, but whatever you did fixed my inability to get on the network xkazu, so your definitely getting there!

Hi,

 

I follow this topic 'cause i own a 3945 card.

I made this rar for people who have problem with IONet et IO802 kext.

 

I hope it comes from the good updates.

I post the official update link i use to make the rar :

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/appl...46forintel.html

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/appl...e1047intel.html

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/appl...pdateintel.html

 

Correct me if it's uncorrect.

Link for KEXT (10.4.6 - 10.4.7 - 10.4.8):

http://benjl25.dyndns.org/macos/AppleUpdate.rar

Hi,

thanks to all for your work! I now give my little contribution.

 

I downloaded:

 

MacOSXUpd10.4.7Intel.dmg (thus, not the Combo update);

MacOSXUpd10.4.8Intel.dmg (again, not the Combo update).

 

I then extracted, from each of these updates, the following three items:

 

IONetworkingFamily.kext

IO80211Family.kext

Apple80211.framework

 

Then, I tried for each of those "triplets" all the latest versions of iwi3945, by manually kextloading the driver (the ethernet cable has been always left unplugged).

 

Results:

 

1) With kexts and framework from 10.4.7 update:

 

0.7, 0.8, 0.9 DO NOT load, due to unsatisfied dependencies.

 

2) With kexts and framework from 10.4.8 update:

 

0.7 loads successfully; ifconfig shows indeed an eth address (seems different from the one under winXP) but the interface is inactive, I can't turn it on neither with the phisical switch nor with fn-F5, nor by rebooting after having switched it on under WinXP;

 

0.8: kernel panic;

 

0.9: kernel panic.

 

I think something is still unclear regarding the correct kexts to use, I have read all the posts on this thread and still I am not sure about which ones have to be used...

 

Hope this helps, best regards
