i think the openBSD driver for 3945 will not help for mac os x

 

last version of iwi3945 is v5

 

how can i understand it if people only say that it doesn't work?

 

of course it does not work - it's beta

 

i need to see the logs

 

i already know that it does not work and cause kernel panic

 

airport isnt configured.

im using 10.4.7 FRAMEWORK AND KEXT

 

this means you have to enter system preferences and apply the airport settings - them it should be configured

 

after the driver is configured by the io80211family it is ready to work

 

or crash

 

:)

 

i've tested this version today

 

it allows me to download a large file without crashes

 

we're almost ready to release a new iwi2200 stable version

 

i haven't mentioned before but

 

you all know that a .dmg files is a disk image

 

and that it's opened by the finder

 

no zip compression here

iwi2200.dmg

as i said it DOESNT WORK at all even applying the airport config doesnt change anything and the mac adress is 000000000000000

else it makes a conflict with my BT and remove my Ethernet netwrok (apple yukon) to some PCI fast ethernet PCI card which doesnt work at all....So pointless to print any ioreg since i cannot even run my LAN. Sorry. Hope someone else having 3945 can do it for me.

You can't realy get logs after a kernel crash as far as i know. if there is a way i'll send everything i can. at this point i think comparing system information is the best way to find the root of the problem. Perhaps those who have the kext loaded can post system specs for comparison, laptop, processor, chipset, etc.

 

anyways, we all apreciate your work right now, i suspect with a new release every other day or so you must be rather busy coding.

jalavoui, could You share the latest source iwi3945?

Regards

 

 

it's in the svn trunk of iwi3945 http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/

 

if iwi3945 is getting kernel panics it's a small bug in code

 

can someone try to fix this?

 

i'd like to know if the new firmare code works

If you could please tell me what I need to do to test it in 10.4.8 I'll test it.

ok, well i compiled from latest source on code.google.com and i got the following dmesg output from it. My en0 is still enabled, although not connected, and i am running 10.4.8. Seems im getting a little further on this release.

 

EDIT: By the way, power cycling the adapter through the Fn-F2 hotkey does not change anything on the system, although doing an ifconfig en1 down && ifconfig en1 up does report something, as you can notice in the attached dmesg.txt

dmesg.txt

I have install the iwi2200.dmg and when I've try to configure the wireless connection it is appeared the grey shielded that wants to shutdown the pc. So for me this package don't work...

thanks a lot for the support gived till now!!

Hello,

 

I've tried iwi2100_v3 with my IBM T40 - unfortunately it does not work.

I'm using needed files (IO8...kext and framework) from 10.4.7 update.

Still have the message at boot: Couldn't alloc class "darwin_iwi2100".

My logs are attached.

system.log.txt

dmesg.txt

ioreg.txt

download it from apple. and use pacisfist to extract the file

dude233, thanks for the tip, which was also provided earlier in this forum. After opening the file MacOSXUpd10.4.7Intel.dmg in pacifist, I wasn't able to find any kext files, or while searching for framework and/or 80211 within pacifist, I didn't find anything.

I saw a couple of updates pointing at the problems finding the files, but nevertheless, I didn't succeed.

Can somebody point out, in which of the folders the files/packages reside?

 

To confirm, the folder-structure of MacOSXUpd10.4.7Intel.dmg appears something like

 

---8<---

+Contents of MacOSXUpd10.4.7Intel.dmg

+MacOXUpd10.4.7Intel.pkg

+Contens

Archive.bom

Archive.pax.gz

Info.plist

MacOSXUpd10.4.6Intel.dist

+Resources

version.plist

 

---8<---

 

Thanks in advance.

u have to download the combo update else u wont find anything regarding those files : the kext is located into /S/L/Extensions and the frameworks into PrivateFrameworks directory. If u need more help just use the search option in Pacifist 2.0 . Enjoy.

you have a line:

Couldn't alloc class "darwin_iwi2100"

 

this is maybe cause of wrong io80211 framework

 

try with 10.4.8 it's easyer to install with pacifist

 

to use 10.4.7 you have to get the apple updates (not combo) from 10.4.5 / 6 / 7 not only 10.4.7

good logs for iwi3945 ;)

 

i've made some hacks on it - just try

 

 

iwi3945 functions status (get source from svn trunk of http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/ ):

 

i've comment the code in order to make it skip bugs

get xcode, iwi2200 source, linux ipw3945-1.2.0, iwlwifi-0.0.6 and try to fix

 

 

these are the functions by call order

 

1- getSTATUS_DEV()

 

ok

 

 

2-start()

 

code needs to be rewritten - ok for now

 

 

3-ipw_sw_reset()

 

check ipw_read_ucode() removing some //return may help

 

 

4-ipw_up()

 

check all functions inside this one. this helps the firmware to load and is the first step to make the driver work

 

 

5-getHardwareAddress()

 

i've changed to use eeprom

this gives the mac card address. it's called ever 5 seconds.

 

add other memcpy for other needed vars (see iwi2200)

 

 

 

other functions

 

support functions like ipw_write32, _ipw_write_restricted_reg,ipw_grab_restricted_access, etc might have bugs. check them against iwi2200 functions may help to fix
