I was wandering if someone could give me a hand. I've been trying to install the iwi2200.dmg. The install goes fine and it copies the drivers and the networkSelecter with the nsGUI to my applications folder. But when I try to run the networkSelecter by double clicking it,through terminal or when boot with the -s option it doesn't load.

 

mourningwoods-computer:~ MourningWood$ /Applications/networkSelector; exit
-bash: /Applications/networkSelector: Bad executable (or shared library)
logout
[Process completed]

 

I'm not sure if it is my laptop or if I am doing something wrong, I'm new to Macs and the x86 scene but am very familier to Linux. I've download quite a few differenct versions of the driver and they have all had the same problem. I've also tried completely removing the old one first. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running Mac OSX Leopard on my hackintosh.

I tried the intel drivers 3945 for my ACER 5680 but alas the kernel gave a panic.

I know leopard isn't really supported, but has anyone gotten any further with messing around with the driver?

How is the process going of porting the drivers to leopard?

 

Well good luck anyway, thank you for putting your spare time in this project.

Hey ,

My name is Pierre, I'm a NT Systems Administrator just now starting to fiddle around with OS X. I have absolutely no past experience in driver developpment but can provide hardware to those who need it. I presently run an Intel 3945a/b/g, and have installed the latest iwdarwin drivers.

 

Here are the 3 system logs given after I play around with NS and dump the logs.

 

PS: I've been reading about this NSGui that exists, is it just a frontend to NS or does it provide more functionality,

 

Regards,

Pierre

iwi3945

 

i've explained this a few posts back

change in the info.plist file of iwi3945.kext the param_timer

try this values: (or others if you feel like)

0

500

1000

2000

5000

10000

after changing a value delete system/libray/extensions/ cache files and reboot

test wirh networkselector option 1 a few times

post separate logs for each param_timer tested value

 

the goal here is to check if the driver stops giving firmware errors while sending commands

 

 

there are several other ways to fix this - developers help is apreciated

i can't do much more at this time since only a few people are willing to donate to this project

you can test the svn version in iwidarwin - it's the latest

http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/

if you have mac os x 10.5 don't bother testing this

you need to try other values for param_timer...

Jalavoui- I have a Lenovo T60 with Intel 3945 wireless. I have Tiger and Leopard installed and would love to help test this for you. I am new to Mac and can offer nothing more than patients and a willingness to help. Please let me know what you would like me to do.

 

I have already downloaded the 3945 file and installed it in Tiger.

The card shows up but no LED light showing it's enabled and I

can't connect to any networks. I have secured and unsecured wireless

networks in the my house. I am also using wep and wpa so I can test

a broad range of things for you and the community.

iwi3945 rel 539

test it with what i've said in previous post

-----------------------------------------------------------------

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

 

I cant get my head around this one, where do i put the code ???

also you say look in iwi3945.kext for the info.plist file, with what do i open the iwi3945.kext with and what do i edit the info.plist file with ???

 

someone help please.

Click on the right button of you mouse and choose Show package contents, or whatever it says. Keep opening the folders untill you get the info.plist. when asked, choose TExt Editor to open the file, change the values and save. Don't change file extension from PLIST to TXT. ok?

repair permissions, reboot, and give it a try

nowhere! it was only a notice looking a piece of source-code.

Right click -> show pkg content -> Contents -> Info.plist

I think you have to copy to desktop , to edit it (need user password, I think).

Edit with textedit (I think you do not have Xcode installed, do you?)

Put back over the original Info.plist (need user password, I think).

 

Before rebooting don't forget to repair persmission (with diskutility).

looks like nobody interesting in making donations for getting new hardware

the iwi2200 as about 2000 downloads and only 1 donation

maybe when it gets to 200000 i get 100 :D

 

 

When you make my 3945 work i will donate for sure - i swear, it's christmas time

 

I installed the latest dmg for the 3945, osx86 boots with no problem, and the new device is in the network preferences but the network detector application (the one that starts the terminal) only shows options 1, 5, 0

1 doesn't seem to work or change anything, and ... well, that's it.

 

is there anything i can do ?

 

edit:

i also tried to boot -s

sh /etc/rc

and run networkselector, but i get kernel panic

and when i boot back normally i still get no airport

 

i'm sorry i'm not very good at this :S

 

 

thank you for your efforts!
