iwi3945

i've disabled a feature that reads rfkill status

since it doesn't give a kp i've put it back again

 

still getting panic on Sony VAIO VGN-AR41L Mac OS X 10.4.10.

iwi3945

wrote code for kp while scanning

better test this with "boot -s" option

 

if you get the same kp as uk_rules_ok try a few more times - i haven't figure out that kp yet

the driver should pass this point and start the scan job

Try to boot your Windows, turn wireless on, then reboot to OSX leaving wirelesss on. Then Network Selector should be able to use your 3945.

Hi!

When i restart windowsXP, wifi led go off, and when i start MacOs led is still off... NetworkSelector don't show any network... My wifi is not ON.

 

On Ubuntu my led can be controled by Fn+F2...

Any soluton on Dell INSPIRON 9400?

 

Thanx a lot !!

;)

 

PS: I turned off hotkey on BIOS... Same thing.

anyway heres my logs..

If it's working it should be detected in Network Preferences under "PCI Ethernet Slot pci8086,xxxx" where xxxx are numbers corresponding to your card, mine still isnt appearing there only in the Network Utility as an Interface.

I think that Vaios must have a different class number or device ID for the card which is why it isnt being detected for my Vaio and uk_rules_ok's Vaio

If it's working it should be detected in Network Preferences under "PCI Ethernet Slot pci8086,xxxx" where xxxx are numbers corresponding to your card, mine still isnt appearing there only in the Network Utility as an Interface.

 

dosnt seem to be in the network prefs, so i guess its not working grrrrrr :)

 

dont know if these pics are any help to anyone but its the info from linux with the iwi3945 working.

When i use Fn+F2, only bluetooth is disabled/enabled, Wifi still off!! :(

HI ALL THOSE UNPATIENT - the 3945 issue will be resolved, the development goes on.

But, if the need is so high, there is a solution to change the Intel Wireless 3945 a/b/g card with a Dell Wireless 1500 Draft N.

Here are the solutions for working drivers under osx, thanks to macnub.

http://www.macdotnub.info/tutorials.php

 

Jalavoui I have seen that iwl driver asks for mac802.1x package. The one for 3945 under osx should not require the AirPort Extreme 802.11 Enabler? Perhaps it was a stupid question, in that case I am sorry. ;)

iwi3945

you all read about iwl_alive_start() beeing the core of driver setup

but it was never called in logs

i find out why

instead of passing p=9 i was doing p=4

a simple bug that prevent the driver from working

get ready to see some action in this release:)

 

test this with the "boot -s" method explained in previous posts

 

i find out what's happening with the cards that don't get detected in ioreg as pci8086,xxxx

that happens because of shared irqs - this mean that the driver receivs interrupts of other devices!!!

this can cause the driver to fail since i have no code to filter the interrupts from other devices!!

can someone do a search on this subject - the driver will not work properly for those cards until this is fixed

although ther'es some code to filter the interrupts from other drivers iwi3945 will be much slower this way

iwi3945.dmg

I guess this thread is too filled up with 3945 problems (I do have that problem on my other laptop) but I need some help with 2200 card, I did alot of searching still cant find anything what am I doing wrong ?

 

SystemUIServer[137] lang is:en
MCXF.initializeDirectoryServices: unable to get the ethernet address
/System/Library/CoreServices/mcxd.app/Contents/MacOS/mcxd:MCXD.initializedDirectoryServices: Unable to get the ethernet address

 

 

Please help.

iwi3945

there's a bug in send_command - timeouts

hope this fix it

 

 

still dont seem to be working on my system, but not getting panic anymore, heres the logs :-

 

"edit" - sorry posted old logs, removed the old ones - heres the new ones.
