jalavoui Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 I forgot to said that the iwi2200.kext assumes that the interface is en1. this could cause the driver not to load. first go to system preferences. te aiport must apear under the network pannel. open the terminal and type "ifconfig". check for the en1 interface, if the aiport doesn't match en1 interface the driver will fail i've updated the Apple80211.framework and IO80211Family.kext using pacifist (http://www.charlessoft.com/) and the apple intel 10.4.5 to 10.4.7 updates (don't use combo). don't use the finder to copy files (use cp -R or cp -r). can somebody post a scrip to do this steps? the iwi2200.kext should work in kernel versions 10.4.4 / 10.4.8. i've compiled with suport for 10.4.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poplars Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 glad to see progress is still being made, I can't go back to osx untill SOMEONE fixes mouse tearing. so I have very little incentive to test this yet . . . keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

- Doogie Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I would love to help with this project, whether it be testing or programming.. I have the 3495 in an HP Dv9000T Notebook.. Unfortunately I Just can't change the cards (because of HP).... So in other words I need this working as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rathalos Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 ok, for people who are like going "where the hell do i change the network interface of my airport to en1??" here's the solution: 1. go to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration 2. type "sudo nano NetworkInterfaces.plist" 3. if there are any networks occupying en1, change the value for that network to en2, and so on. Make sure they dont clash 4. find your airport device in the plist and change its BSD name to en1. 5. reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas202 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 great job? I don't see anywhere where it actually worked lol. (no offence) it detects it but it doesn't work yet WTF!... People has been waiting for this driver for a long time, this is real progress... Finaly someone is making progress... We are tousends with this card out there, including me, and we are extreamly happy for the work thas is going on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenn Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 anyone who wants to fix this right now and doesnt want to wait, you can go and find a new wireless pcimini card. The Dell Truemobile 1450 is reported to work isn't it and it will fit into any laptop basically that uses the 2200bg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mifki Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 We know that but most people dont want to waste money on a new card, keep ur useless comments to urself. This is for driver development not comments like yours. The whole aim of the osx86 project was to run OS X fully without having to spend any extra money on hardware.

poplars Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 seriously dude, some people can't even get new cards, people with laptops that don't allow such things. anyways lets not spring up this huge flame war against the ignorant moron shall we? any updates on the driver?

You don't need to be such a {censored}. The point they're trying to make is that a) some people don't have anywhere to buy a new card and it is impolite and occasionally rude to post a "quick fix" in a development forum (I know this one from experience.) So next time you or anyone else thinks about posting a "quick fix" where it shouldn't be posted, think again. It pisses people off. EDIT: Also, don't just come in here with no posts and post {censored} like this. It's disrespectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalavoui Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 i've just writed a driver for the 3945 card. i'll post it soon i'd like to keep this project going with other cards. i could start a sourceforge project for the iwi2200 but i think it will be better to stay in this thread because of testing other cards. i don't know if there are people using cards based on the ipw2100 linux driver. i'll post an driver for that to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep it would be easier, and allow for better feedback maybe? Do you know if anybody has succeeded with the pro wireless 2915ABG? and the iwi2200 kexts?

macstibs Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 (edited) i've just writed a driver for the 3945 card. i'll post it soon This is a huge breakthrough. Can't wait to see it and try it out! Thanks so much for this. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there with the 3945 chipset that will be equally ecstatic. If you set up a Paypal account, I'm sure you could get paid nicely for your efforts. Looking forward to not having to swap out my wireless card! Big ups to ya jalavoui!
