mcmcomput Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I wouldn't mind donating towards the 3945abg cause, but it seems that all the money is going towards iwi2200 dev since its the closest to completion. If I could know that $x have been raised towards the 3945abg project and $x have been spent on a new notebook, that would make me fell better.

youngi Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 hp dealers are too stupid to help you changing your wireless card, i went to my local dealer and they insisted on me bringin the laptop so they take the card number although i told them i dont want the same card, i want to change it with another certain one, but they could not even understand that my card has no problem and that i just want to swap it with another model and was askin what they've got... anyway, seems that for hp, a dell 1490 would work fine (if you have mini pci-e card...well if uve got 3945 then it surely is mini pci-e)...but if you gonna change the card for a hp laptop, YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE THE BIOS TWEAK HACK so it bypasses the non hp card. someone also posted that he got a broadcom hp card and still had to do the bios hack to bypass the network card lock. i decided not to wait anylonger for this 3945 driver(although this card looks like the most popular one) and im goin for the dell 1490 and BIOS hack.

Booshi Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 does anyone use the iwi3945 driver in the 10.4.9 system ?i use it ,but the system cant start up now , any solutions for this problem? help me plz. Hi, I tried the iwi 3945 driver pack today and it crashes everyone's install of leopard and tiger. There was a guy who wrote how to uninstall the driver to make the os x installs bootable again, but even after the drivers are removed, it still wont boot... I just reinstalled os x and I'm using the Pro/100 VE Driver now (Not wireless)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleFlight Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Will there be any fix for iwi2200 (2200 BG) so that we can connect to WEP networks? When I try to connect to my network which is WEP, I get stucked at "Getting IP Address". Would appreciate if you could do something here! EDIT: I now get past the "Getting IP Address", but a new problem has showned up: "IP Address: [some IP adress] No Internet Connection" But why is that? I can see so many networks, including my home network! My home network is Open key WEP-secured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
