ok, forget it.

But, for the record, I read all the 85 pages and, speaking for me, said "I want to test" cause I was doing that when jalavoui was online and I was out for 3 hour:)

Let's get back where we were before :P

Agreed:)

But after reading 85 pages, you'll get my point i guess :P

Also for the record, i was speaking in general :)

But let's focus on the project now, and hope people learned something from our catfight :)

RAUUUUUUUUUUUW :P

It seems people have over looked the request for information concerning the memory leak for 2200.

 

I found this and thought that perhaps the information could help, to diagnose the problem.

btw, my knowledge of this stuff is weak, so if im totally off, dont throw tomatos at me :)

I just wanted to thank Jalavoui for his great work! I installed OSX 10.4.7 on my Compaq V2000 (the're quite a few configurations of this machine, mine is a P4 M 1.4Ghz 512MB RAM, etc.) Everything was working great but the wireless card, now thanks to this it also does! Now I wont boot much in Windows (well, I actually have to work with it, but for all the rest I'll stick to MacOSX).

I dont know why it connected to my wireless router (Motorola) and could ping my iMac, but had no access to the internet! I manually put the Router IP and DNS and voila! It works great, even after rebooting! (in fact I'm browsing and writing this using the wireless connection on Safari).

To gain some protection, I used Motorola's feature to allow access only to my notebooks MAC address, since I had to turn off WPK.

Again: thanks!!!

Jalavoui,

 

iwi3945 rev 340

 

System found "PCI Ethernet Slot pci8086,4222" after installation, but could not get IP from router. So I set a IP to it using 192.168.0.102/255.255.255.0. then system was crashed and display "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for serveral seconds or press the Restart button.......". I remember I tried the same thing on others version before rev 340, and the system was not crashed.

 

Good work and go on...

Hi there, new poster here. Thanks for all this!!! I have a Sony VAIO VGN-UX280P with 10.4.9 now on it. (Aside from networking and video, all's working great.) It has the "Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG" built in.

 

First question, how can one tell the rev version of the iwi3945 driver? I can't see on the web site or package contents to know for sure, I'm just redownloading and installing as I see people commenting on new versions.

 

In any case, just FYI, the one which was online yesterday installed fine, the ethernet port "showed up" in the network list (no wireless showing up), but will not connect. I didn't do any other troubleshooting at the time. I saw that a new version was online today (I believe rev 400? just downloaded at about 10:00 eastern). In any case, it installs, but causes a kernel panic before the login screen, so I don't think I can get a log to be of any help as to why. Thought I'd post and will continue to be active in testing. Thanks again!

10.4.9 last iwi3945

 

is this the last iwi3945 version?

 

looks like your card as the radio on!

 

can you explain others how you do it?

 

this log will help a lot for fixing some bugs

 

iwi3945

if you get panic while booting with -s please send me a picture - the last one someone send is very bad and i can't undersantd the log messages

 

Hello,

 

i m a new macos user with 2100 INTEL wireless card

PS2: if i can help you in another way tell me! :P

 

is this last version?

 

post the system.log from the begin/end of driver loading so i can understand it

 

 

first log line looks like this:

 

iwi3945: disable 0 led 1 mode 0

 

this is +/- the same for iwi2100/2200

 

 

iwi2200 mbuf cluster bug

 

keep a console open before getting the bug

 

when you get the freeze try typing in console:

 

netstat -m > / nem.txt

netstat -s > / nes.txt

 

if the files can't get created try to look into the log and post the result

 

 

anyway - this is for iwi3945 rev 400...

 

is this the log from start/end of driver loading? looks like there are missing lines

 

if this is from last version, did you get a kernel panic?

 

 

iwi2100/3945

 

i need someone with these cards and xcode to try to follow the logs and find out where they are crashing. these drivers are almost ready to work. if i keep making the changes in code it will take a long time because i don't have neither of these cards
