I think the problem with this is, typically when Apple's .kext files get attached here, they get taken down as a DMCA violation.

 

A workaround might be to zip up the .kext files and place them on RapidShare, but it seems that might not be acceptable either any more. (I've seen some RS links removed, while others have been allowed.) If there's a moderator reading this thread, would it be possible to get clarification on what is okay and what isn't?

 

just go to www.apple.com and download the 10.4.7 Updates.

then use pacifist to get the kext.

thats easy right?

rammjet should add these kexts to his compilations in the genius bar. or someone would be kind enough to get these files on a bloody server already so we can save people the trouble of downloading all this unnecessary {censored} just to get one damn file.

 

unless there are some legal issues that I am unaware of. so far I see none because of the other files that have been hosted and/or linked to around here.

copy the kext to: /System/Library/Extentions

 

It will ask you for your password, enter it

 

then goto terminal and type:

 

sudo -s

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions

touch /System/Library/Extensions

 

(this will stop any permission issues)

 

This worked with me.

Good luck!

Will I be able to connect to a simple network with it (basic wep incription)? I use a intel 2200??

 

BTW: I don't know if this may help or not, but I'm just saying it because it might. I recently bought a real mac and I also experienced connection problems to my router. It seems that for a lot of routers (like US Robotics) you need the latest firmware updates to connect with a mac. After you do this it works flawlessly. Don't now if this is relevant for hacintosh but...

I know on the 3945 you cant do anything yet because it cant pick up a MAC address.

You can check this by going System Prefs, Network, Airport.

 

if you have a mac address/ID you might to be able, but i dont know.

 

Check this first, if you ahve a mac address look back a few posts,

Soo its working on Mac OS 10.4.7?

if it is, Thanks for your time and i appreciated =)

 

i got a question about the installation, i got 10.4.8 with the 8.8.1 kernel.

I'm wondering if the method javaliou works with the installation method posted ont the project webpage:

 

1setup:

 

there's no need to zip the .kext

 

i'm not doing any hack on the files...

 

i've already sayd this...

 

get the apple intel updates (not combo) from 10.4.5 to 10.4.7

 

use pacifist to extract the IO80211 framework and .kext to folders (5,6,7)

 

make a folder "dest"

 

use cp -R or cp -r to copy from folder 5 to dest

use cp -R or cp -r to copy from folder 6 to dest

use cp -R or cp -r to copy from folder 7 to dest

 

now "dest" as the 10.4.7 updated IO80211 framework and .kext

 

move it to Extensions and PrivateFramework folders

 

fix permissions (disk utility)

 

reboot and it's done

 

all legal apple stuff

 

 

2Setup:

 

Installation

method of iwi kext

Introduction

 

this is currently installation documents for iwi2200.

Requirement

 

* Mac OS X 10.4.7( have problemn in 10.4.8)

 

Steps

 

typing in Terminal in 2-3 1. go to Terminal.App 2. extract file type in terminal

 

% unzip -l iwi2200.zip

 

2. change owner

 

% sudo chown -R root:wheel iwi2200.kext

 

if you ask password , plz type.

 

3. load kernel module

 

% sudo kextload iwi2200

 

4. enabling power

 

press airpot power button? ( I dont know detail , my machine cannot set power button)

 

if power is enable, "Radio is disable" display.

 

edit file iwi2200/Contents/Info.plist and change value 1 to 0

 

<key>p_disable</key>

<integer>1</integer> <- shuld change

 

<key>p_disable</key>

<integer>0</integer> <- shuld change

 

and reboot. after reboot, plz load kernel modeul ( 3.)

 

this driver dont work perfectly. working features is from booting to association. cannot send data packet to hardware and upper layer. if display "associated: (network nmae)", it work.

 

about bug report

 

if can use google project, send report to issues. if not, send report to http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=36976.

about 10.4.8

 

* Crashed in 10.4.8 when you set channel in Airpot menu.

 

if open network and cannot use encrpytion , np.

 

* cannot start network scanning and associating.

 

if you display " Failed to send TX_POWER: Already sending a command." in log.

 

it may be work xkazu's unstables version. if you has xcode environment, plz get source code from svn and build it. binaries is not released yet.

 

locations is tags/iwi2200-0.5-kazu in this project's svn repository.

 

 

Sorry for the copy and Paste, I didn't do anything of this. All was made by the Development team of the Intel Wireless.

Hi, i am a french man, so be cool wih my english.... :pirate2:

 

I have a BIG question:

 

The new Apple Mac Book pro is provided with a intel 3945 abg... so

 

why it seems to be so dificult to adapt this driver ?

and

why it seems to be impossible to "take it" from a apple distribution (with the mac book pro) ?

 

In my opinion (of newbee), it's just somme "kext" to adapt from the apple official distribution...

and no need to code...

 

if i say some wrong things; please explain to me.

I dont understand your saying because my english skill is not better .

 

I wrote Installation doccument of Project web. it is problem?

 

if it has problem, I will remove installation documnet.

 

I seem that iwi2200_v5.zip birnaris require IO80211Family ( of Mac OS X 10.4.7) on previous post.

Could you please provide a link that lists that? Apple's Specifications for the Macbook Pro say that it is equiped with "Built-in 54-Mbps AirPort Extreme wireless networking (802.11g standard)"

 

If they went with the Intel Pro Wireless, I haven't been able to find any information about that.

can someone post the linux log of iwi3945 and iwi2100

 

i'd like to know the firmware (boot, ucode and firmware) size of both drivers.

 

i used these metod to get the firmware size of iwi2200 and built it with hex2string

 

 

having this i can split the firmware and allow the adapter to start

i'm testing a new version of iwi2200

 

 

if you have xcode build it

 

 

check the enable()/disable() ieee80211_xmit() ipw_net_hard_start_xmit() and ipw_tx_skb()

 

 

when this functions are ready the driver will work

 

Has the kext in the original post been updated with the new version??? OR are these two seperate things???

macbookpro intel 3945..

 

i have found this info on www.google.fr (sure i'm french) with [ apple intel 3945 ] as keywords

 

and i found http://www.pcinpact.com/actu/news/33594-Ap...c-Book.htm?vc=1 (it's a french bulletin....22/12/2006)

 

so, other info..

 

i have found in a forum (insanelymac or osx86) someone which provided this file copied from apple book pro

it's seems to be files which can (perhaps) help us...

 

i don't find this post anymore...but in the past i have downloaded the file

 

When Apple says Airport it's only a wifi card it can give the real name or chipset, it's a computer builder....

 

that's all.

 

i'm looking for this old post about i3945 on MBPro with the file...

i'll be back

bye.
