TheMessiah Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I'll join into this topic. I'm also running OSX now 10.4.10, and i also have the Intel 3945 a/b/g. If someone can fill me in what's the status atm I can start help testing.

auqs10 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Jalavoui, each time I test a driver version, after the test I clean up the system by this way: 1. delete the iwi3945.pkg from Library/Receipts (otherwise in Install window appears UPDATE button) 2. delete the entrance in the Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist (in order to have a vacancy for en1 ethernet card) 3. remove the active checked entrance PCI 8086x4222 in the Network Port Configuration and apply the changes 4. delete the extensions.kextcache and.mkext 5. delete the iwi3945.kext 6. delete the caches and logs with ONYX in order to have a clean log files 7. restart the system and remove the inactive entrance of PCI8086x4222 entrance from Network Port Configuration and apply the changes. 8. only when all these operations are performed I install a newer version. One very good thing is that the Mac address of the card is the same in all the three operating systems (Vista, Linux, OSX), the one reported in the logs posted above.

auqs10 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I don't know if that's a reliable observation, but in the system.txt there are three lines reporting errors: iwi3945: iwl_rx_handle UNHANDLED - #0x74 UNKNOWN iwi3945: : Error wrong command queue 37 command id 0x74 iwi3945: : Read index for DMA queue (117) is out of range [0-0) 0 0 The UNHANDLED - #0x74 UNKNOWN shouldn't be with the code #0x47 (the native address of a generic HDD where to write RX information). I am so sorry I cannot help any deeper due to my missing knowledge in programming.

jalavoui Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 iwi3945 well... i forgot to copy back the iokit code when i rewrite the driver this can be the cause of bad hardware detection - it's fixed in this release but this can be a solution for the cards that have the old ff:ff:ff bug in hardware - i really don't know try networkselector option (1) a few times before post logs you'll need to reinstall the driver as i said before for testing this if this work you'll see your device in network preferences iwi3945.dmg Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36976-intel-wireless-driver/page/126/#findComment-480336 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalavoui Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 auqs10, can you change the install script (preinstall) of iwi3945.pkg to match your install steps i think it would be very usefull for everybody you can delete the preupgrade - better to always do a fresh install Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36976-intel-wireless-driver/page/126/#findComment-480480 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterGriff Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Yeah, I just need to tweak boot.plist so I can get timeout to get into -v mode to see the code then I can post the picture of it EDIT: this is going to have to wait as my Mac OS X installation crashed trying to fix an HFS Partition Error (its gone for some reason) so I'll reinstall OS X, never know this may help me with my problems with the driver in case remnants from previous installations were still present and interfering with later releases.

qkslvr221 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Jalavoiu, thank you for your great driver for the 2200! I would like to say that WEP works only with Open authentication, and will connect with 64 or 128 bit. Shared key will not connect at all. In system.log, the error I keep seeing is "iwi2200: E key mismatch" 100 times over. Also, I do "sudo ifconfig en0 inet 192.168.1.108" and it works fine, but "sudo ifconfig en0 netmask 0xFFFFFF00" only generates an "Invalid Argument" error. What should broadcast be set to?

EP3hatch03 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Jalavoiu, thanks for the program the driver is working with my 2200 but it's really slow. Sometimes it will take forever to for something load. in addition, i can not log in to my router and it keep saying "No Internet Connection". i was wondering if there's any solution. thanks Chris Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36976-intel-wireless-driver/page/126/#findComment-480704 Share on other sites More sharing options...

downdowndown Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Is there anything I can do to help...like post logs etc. for 2200. I don't really know how... It does take a long time for the comp to detect the driver, connecting to unencrypted network takes a while, it will connect almost randomly though. Like if you keep clicking connect, it will sometimes "be connected" or just take a while and then returns to the SSID list screen. Without Network Selector, the driver would be active for a few minutes. Maybe www.apple.com will open okay, a few pictures won't show up, and then you can go to www.google.com, but by that time, the driver will have stopped functioning. We appreciate your work!

asabel Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 jalavoui, I just removed and installed the latest driver you released. I recived a kernel panic on the second reboot, on the first reboot however I booted into verbose mode and watched as the rkill tried to run hundreds of times ( it was scrolling down my screen almost to fast to read), after third reboot I can log back into OS X and view the "PCI Slot XXXX" in network preferences. Thank you for all the countless hours of work you have put into this project!!

auqs10 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Jalavoui, the logs (system.txt commented) of latest driver iwi3945.dmg Only after the third restart system didn't hag-up when associating in Network Preferences. After that, two times I restarted the system but it hang-up when the interface was loaded. For good association captures of the info.plist (inside iwi3945.kext) and Network Preferences list are added below.
