jalavoui Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 RSS Feed updated. jalavoui, do you want control over the iwidarwin rss feed/blog? If you do please create a account on wordpress.com and pm me the email address of the account and I will add you. Or I could just maintain it. hmmm.... since you english is much better than mine you should mantain it if you'd like to rewrite the site in english please do it - i was about to ask for it can you put in the dowload section the io80211 framework/extensions for 10.4.7 and 10.4.8 ? - if you can build a installer, sort of iwi2200 installer, people will apreciate Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36976-intel-wireless-driver/page/48/#findComment-323538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalavoui Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 iwi2100 and iwi3945 thanks for the logs - we're getting progress here i noticed that some of you are testing this drivers with others networks pluged in - don't do that - unplug all other networks before testing. i also think that you should disable the bluetooth extensions - it shure interferes with the iwi driver if you have the "wireless button" you should be hable to turn the card on/off just like my card looks like both drivers - finally - skip the firmware loading step i'd like to know if the iwi2100 is reporting the right mac address? if the iwi3945 is responding to the "alive command" them ipw_bg_alive_start() needs to be fixed to complete the card setup - help is appreciated. another issue has to do with the rx/tx functions - i have to use functions from mac80211-4.0.4. these are not compatible with iwi2200 functions - i'll try to write new code for that Ok i finally got around trying the new changes for 3945. Everything seems ok concerning the firmware / mac address . The card did respond to events triggered by my laptop's wireless hot key. I remember jalavoui saying something needed to be chae about rx or tx queues? Thats where our focus should be headed I think. I did one minor fix which allows the card to detect available channels. In ipw_start() I believe, where ipw_nic_init(), ipw_sw_reset() are located ... Lol, sorry Im not very precise. Heres a new kext, post your results, errr post your logs. System.log preferrably. Thanks for the help during my absence FlipHDK! can you try in start() ipw_nic_init(priv); ipw_bg_resume_work(); this should do the job. check also if ipw_up() in getSTATUS_DEV() don't give conflicts - this is needed for those who don't have a "wireless button" the card is setup after receiving the "alive interrupt" and them call ipw_bg_alive_start() at this point, following the code functions sequence should to the job, if you can help on finishing the missing functions the driver soon will be ready works!!!!!!!!! I mean there is no panic. System can boot - wireless icon appears in menu bar. When I opened Network settings first time there was a notification: New airport device, etc. But Airport card can not be configured. I tried it with Airport Setup Assistant as well: There was an error communicating with your AirPort card. Please make sure it is installed properly and try the AirPort Setup Assistant again. So, how to continue? Logs are attached. the only configuration you need to do is open system preferences and apply the changes - don't use AirPort Setup Assistant after aplying the changes you should see the card in system preferences with the right mac address this is valid for all iwi drivers Here are my logs for iwi3945 rev224 I was tring to add ipw_tx_complete to iwi3945 src yesterday. Got all sorts of errors. Wouldn't let me use "int fifo = SEQ_TO_FIFO(pkt->hdr.sequence);" But you've used that :S Edit: "Mar 13 15:32:37 Kyle kernel[0]: iwi3945: getState = 1e" is on the end of system.txt ?? :S, Do you mean the AirPort icon on top right? Thats there on iwi3945. More differences than I thought there was. can you help on writting the code for missing functions - it's much faster when you have a card to test patatester, FlipHDK do you feel you're ready to write code and commit it to svn? development will be much faster doing so Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36976-intel-wireless-driver/page/48/#findComment-323567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
evis Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Hi... You said about the on/off button of the Wirless card, I have this on my Vaio, the thing is that it doesn't turn it on, I think that there is a problem with the power managment of the Driver... the driver should "wake" this card, like what the driver do for USB port, for example... Thanks for all the work! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36976-intel-wireless-driver/page/48/#findComment-323597 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugmoon Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 It appears to me that some of you have applied the recent Airport Update from Apple to your Hackintoshes. In general, do NOT apply updates from Apple to your Hackintosh until it's either been confirmed to work, or until it's been hacked to make it work. Apple updates are for REAL Macintoshes, and some of them make things stop working for us. Now, I can't say for sure that this Airport Update is why you are having problems getting the 2100/2200/2915/3945 driver working on your computer, but there's a pretty good chance that it is. You may want to think about re-installing the OS sometime in the future, or finding some way of undoing the Airport Update.

BchBum11511 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Thanks for all the work. I have the wireless working right now, but my CPU speed is messed up.

trailer Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) Been looking at this topic a long time and decided to give it a try and installed the latest iwi2200 and it works ! http://iwidarwin.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/...200/iwi2200.dmg After installation I rebooted and went to network and there was new network card discovered called PCI Ethernet Slot pci8086,4220. The only thing I changed was enabling power as mentioned in the installation manual http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/wiki/Installation (no. 5) Even downloaded more than 180Mb (about 220Mb) and had no problems with it. Thanks to all who made this possible and keep up the good work !
