Intel Wireless driver

patatester · March 4, 2007

saschak, thank you

Please try the most recent kext from jalavoui, since the one you tried does not even contain the firmware in order to get the card to load. The newest one does contain the firmware.

I can't boot with the latest .dmg, I don't get a "Please restart your pc" just a black screen!

Mar 4 20:56:49 localhost kernel[0]: iwi3945: uCode file size 131085 too small

Its still too small, but its more than 0

JAS 10.4.8

IO80211.kext 10.4.7

boot -s -v

kext is load with out crashing, but next loading tell me some about chunk4 and system halting

when system in noraml starting i has recived "black message"

kextload -t iwi3945 has out some Carpoa

patatester · March 4, 2007

ok so i IO80211.kext 10.4.7 is absolutely required, 10.4.8 kernel panic. Wanted to try and see if it would work under 10.4.8, but now its official, it wont. I will try later on tonight or tomorrow with 10.4.7

Thanks for the testing guys.

carpao, your log looks good, well maybe not ~good~, but a lot better

I am sorry that I am not agree with you. May be you got panic in your system but it doesn't mean that it is official.

true mcdull, i spoke too quickly

OK, now in my system the mac address is right, but my original problem is the same: the card ethernet is riallocate in en1 the 3945 card is configurate as en0 but is not an airport port but like an another ethernet cable card ...

bye

saschak · March 5, 2007

Hi,

thanks patatester but I'm already using the latest dmg release from jalavoui :-/

I think you're right that there's no firmware but where to get the latest release with it?

Can someone please point me to the latest release? I'm using JaS 10.4.6

Thanks in advance!! :unsure:

We need to get it to work on 10.4.8, even if we do have to use alot of kexts/framework for .7

Pablo(2) · March 5, 2007

BTW i'm using IO80211 from 10.4.7

carpo, can you tell me where you found the io80211.kext in your 10.4.7 ? i have seached all over the apple web site and am not successfull.

many thanks.

WaldMeister · March 5, 2007

I'm using the 3945 kext on 10.4.8 with 8.8.1 kernel.

I'm only having the problem, i can't turn on my airport, I have a switch on my laptop, to turn the card on or off, could this give me the problem?

And if so, can it be fixed?

carpao · March 5, 2007

carpo, can you tell me where you found the io80211.kext in your 10.4.7 ? i have seached all over the apple web site and am not successfull.

many thanks.

I got only the kext from the link a previous message...

http://download.yousendit.com/C73C5187474C07BA
Contains both Apple80211.framework and IO80211Family.kext from 10.4.7

I think that there is no io80211.kext it is only an abbreviated form of citing io80211family.kext...

however I have no IO80211.kext on my computer :-D

carpo, many thanks for the feedback. i got the same link from someone else in this forum and it contains the io80211family.kext and apple80211.framework files. thanks for the clairifiaction about the io80211.kext abbreviation; it is confusing.

best regards

Mar 4 10:55:55 localhost kernel[0]: iwi2100: darwin_iwi2100 IRQ: 11, Vendor ID: 8086, Product ID: 1043

for the log you device is 0x10438086 - wich card is this?

iwi3945

the bug is at

int darwin_iwi3945::ipw_read_ucode(struct ipw_priv *priv)

{

struct ipw_ucode *ucode;

int rc = 0;

struct firmware *ucode_raw;

const char *name = "iwlwifi-3945.ucode"; /* firmware file name */

u8 *src;

size_t len;

/* data from ucode file: header followed by uCode images */

(void*)ucode_raw->data=(void*)ipw;

(void*)ucode = (void*)ucode_raw->data;

i've made this change to svn - not shure if will work

can somenoe check this function?

i believe the firmware file is ok - don't need to change for now

the build .dmg http://iwidarwin.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/...945/iwi3945.dmg

here my dump from the image on SVN... airport doesn't turn on...

cyclonefr · March 5, 2007

jalavoui still good MAC adress but no connection available

Edited March 5, 2007 by cyclonefr

chiels · March 5, 2007

Thanks for your efforts.

I am using a Panasonic T5 (Japeness Version, In US, it is Panasonic ToughBook)

The wireless card is also 3945ABG

with the lastest dmg file, it showed the icon right above.

but no connection

If anyone can indicate the thred link that how I can get SVN

I would please to offer them.

Thanks, again.

FlipHDK · March 5, 2007

Here are the log's for the latest iwi3945 from SVN.

There is still some kind of Mac address problem:

Mar 5 20:48:58 localhost configd[62]: Error: WirelessGetInfo2() = 88001003

Mar 5 20:48:58 localhost configd[62]: Error: getGlobalMACAddress failed.

Mar 5 20:48:58 localhost configd[62]: Error: WirelessConfigure() = 88001003

Mar 5 20:48:58 localhost configd[62]: Error: initCardWithStoredPrefs failed.

And now there is no: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945%s Network Connection in my logs.

i've put the wrong name in the firmware file - it should be iwlwifi.fw.h because that's where i get the firmware

sorry for the mess - but the code is taken from several souces

The variable still says: "iwlwifi-3945.ucode";

and the file in firmware/ is still ipw3945.ucode.h ?

- always try to use code from base.c - it's the latest - but
because of some functions use different headers - use ipw3945.c functions if base.c functions fails

this is important because the whole iwi project uses common functions not present in base.c

- basically try a copy/paste from linux functions into iwi3945.c / iwi3945.h and do small fixes will allow xcode to build without errors

Where can I find this base.c file?
