realogic Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 javaloui: First of all, thanks for the job you're doing. About drivers on Leopard, what do you need for start development?

qkslvr221 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 The 2200 drivers keep getting better and better! I would say they make full use of my 10mbps cable connection, but I absolutely must have WEP. Is there anything I can possibly give that would help get the WEP working?

sfxc13 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 1. open Terminal % sudo -s % rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/iwiXXXX.kext (replace XXXX with your specific driver) % rm -rf /Library/Receipts/iwiXXXX.pkg % rm /System/Library/Extensions.* % kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions 2.

Darth OS X Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 iwi3945/iwi4965firmware fixes about source code - i'll not move to mac os x 10.5. i'm using 10.4.8 kernel sources iwi3945 as a bug in the snd_cmd(). when this is fixed we can jump to iwi2100 status iwi4965 needs to have more code to work iwi2100 is scanning, need to write code for rx/tx packets - iwi2200 source as all the code for this iwi2200 need secure nets suport and fix the slowdown bug. i might build a new kernel to fix this since this bug also exists in macintosh computers any developer help is welcome Well, if you won't move to leopard, then maybe others will with the help of the code from "iwi3945". I, myself would do this, but seeing as I do not have the knowledge on how to code a driver for wireless this seems out of the question. Now i can help with testing this if anyone is willing to try it on Leopard seeing as the current dev is not willing to continue work onto 10.5 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36976-intel-wireless-driver/page/142/#findComment-505039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikski Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Major Bummer that 3945 is not being supported for OSX 10.5 - I would like to also help with support for this, Unfortunately my coding skills fall back to machine code on the 6502 (commodore 64) - so I think C or C# is a bit out of the question - or I have some rapid learning to do ;-), Who else would like to see development for 3945 on OSX 10.5 (it maybe worthwhile to do a poll and find out where 3945 development is really required!?) - just a suggestion. I appreciate all the work you guys have been putting in especially jalavoui and also the testers! Many Thanks Keep up the good work.

zerodegreec Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Lets focus on getting these drivers working for Tiger before we get itching for Leo. I have a iMac Core Duo and a buddy has the new iMac core2Duo with leo on both, On a mac OEM its not stable and full of bugs. Mac needs a patch for leo as it is. I am more than happy to stay with 10.4.8 until at least Leo 10.5.1 or 2 is out. Waiting for the iwi3945 drivers to work with patience. Keep up the good work, PLEASE dont let the negative comments turn you off development. Thanks (I know that you get offers to test 1000 times, but ANYTHING a non-coder "leatch" like me can do, just say the word) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36976-intel-wireless-driver/page/142/#findComment-505484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjduro Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I don't get this eagerness to forget Tiger and move on to Leo, before getting things done on Tiger. Tiger is good, stable... Leo is not. It's almost a beta OS. Can you wait a little longer untill we have a little bit more Tiger done and an older Leo? Maybe Leo x.2? Be cool Well, if you won't move to leopard, then maybe others will with the help of the code from "iwi3945".

Be cool I would not call it eagerness as much as I call it needed for my situation. Not everyone can run tiger, I have not had any luck with Tiger on my Vostro 1500, I never get to the point where I can even install Tiger, KP's abound, but I managed to get Leo on it, with everything but the NV 8600 GT and 3945 Wireless working, so although more development is needed for Tiger, I would not stop development on Leo.

uk_rules_ok Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 To be hoist with everyone there nothing wrong with tiger, as other people are saying there are less issues with tiger and more support, I myself havn't had many issues with tiger and seems very stable so i dont think im gonna bother moving over to leo as everything i use seems to work great. The morrel of this story is "why fix it if its not broke". keep up the good work jalavoui, you have my suppot for development of the iwi3945 driver on tiger.

But then again I am biased I understand your reasons. I truly do, but the thing is jalavoui is working on a Tiger based project and on this stage of development it would be a waste of resources and time to start another project from scratch. No matter what Jalavoui's option is we should support him. After all, it's his project and his work. Not ours.

jalavoui Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 iwi3945/4965 tx queue fix for developers you might fix the bug in iwi3945/4965 doing this: define static struct iwl_priv priv0; check iwi2200 code to see where it is used to make this work you'll need to apply some fixes - easy if you have any of this cards iwi2200 the driver only works for wep networks if you get 169.254.xxx.xxx them it doesn't work - try to change it in networkpreferences i haven't write code for hexadecimal wep keys - use simple passwords for now only open mode is allowed - no shared key association enabled iwi3945.dmg iwi4965.dmg Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36976-intel-wireless-driver/page/142/#findComment-506139 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalavoui Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 uk_rules_ok, the driver seems to stop getting firmware errrors after a few on/off retries i'll put a module parameter in next build to test this if your card as a wireless switcher, does it work? check if you get any log message when pressing it jajajaja, can you post a ngui picture scanning networks? sfxc13, does your card have a wireless switcher?

jalavoui Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 iwi3945 add param_timer - this is the code: while (priv->status & STATUS_HCMD_ACTIVE) { rc++; IODelay(HOST_COMPLETE_TIMEOUT); if (rc==param_timer) break; } if param_timer=1000 them this will be done 1000 times check in the iwi3945.kext for the info.plist file after changing this value delete /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache and Extensions.mkext (this is important if you miss this mac os will ignore your changes in the info.plist) reboot open console and look at system.log press option 1 of networkselector a few times if you don't get errors while sending commands - you find a good timer value - let me know what is it otherwise try other values for param_timer iwi2100 this version as much less debug msg this way i can understand what the driver is doing changed is_rx function i don't know if networkselector works - i hope nsgui is working since it's much better for testing if you get a kernel panic - boot with -s and use networkselector eddie - where are you? you should be writting this code iwi4965 add less debug msgs i still don't understand where the driver is failing iwi2100.dmg iwi3945.dmg iwi4965.dmg Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36976-intel-wireless-driver/page/142/#findComment-506389 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfxc13 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 To get logs run the attached file after testing. To test: Install Restart Run Network Selector press 1 press 1 press 1 press 5 run getlogs.command check logs to see whether card is on or off if the card is off then run network selector and press 1 to turn card on, press 5 then open network in system preferences. add any relevant comments when you post the logs for a good example see aquas10 post: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry500995 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36976-intel-wireless-driver/page/142/#findComment-506642 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jajajaja Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 OK here are the log files for the latest build of 2100 driver, the dmg posted yesterday. The network selector window does not crash with this one (the previous version crashed right after it found the wireless network). But still, when I click connect, it just returns to the network selector and continues scanning, so it does not connect. Also the SS of the ngui, hope this is what you asked. dmesg.txt ioreg.txt system.txt.zip 4.tiff Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36976-intel-wireless-driver/page/142/#findComment-506899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
