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

 

where is project's url in sf ?

is it http://sourceforge.net/projects/iwi2200/ ?

but i seem that cvs of this url is not updated.

 

and ipw_best_network and ipw_association work in my environment for my patch .

but this patch added sevaral ieee802211(of linux) ...

 

i will post this patch after cleaning up.

following is log in linux and iwi2200_v4(+my editting version.)

'vantronix' is network name of my AP.

I seem that scanning is successed. but Firmware error alway occur after Assocation attempt....

firmware should be changed?

 

m code has previous problems.

but I undserstood "apple80211_scan_result" and I found that method of implentation of "getSCAN_RESULT".

i will post current patch and begin to implement these.

Do you know if anybody has succeeded with the pro wireless 2915ABG? and the iwi2200 kexts?

 

my card is 2915ABG and scanning of 11a channel is successed.

 

but there are not code treating data packet yet so i think that any card cannot connect via TCP layer.

xkazu, can you post your v5?

 

yes . I can post my version. it is very noisy ( with many debug output).

and it alway hang up after associating so i want to post my patch after fixing bugs and cleaning up source code.

 

if you want to read source code , i post it now.

i've just writed a driver for the 3945 card. i'll post it soon

 

Amazing! thanks for your help! I'm sure i'll be jumping around screaming with happyness when you release this driver! Please let me know if you could use any extra beta testers.

I tried the version 4 kext on my HP nc6220 (2915) and after loading the extension, I supposedly have a new built-in ethernet. I also combined the load/unload procedures into a shell script. If anyone wants it I can post it.

Could you post pls? Did you tried to check for avialable networks and connecting?

I'm seeing the same thing Aelthwin on my Dell D610 with 2915.

Sorry. missed the other reply. When I load the extension I get no airport/wireless type interface. I get a new built in ethernet connection. So no, it doesn't scan channels, networks, or anything...

 

I too don't seem to get a new airport/wireless device - I do get the Airport icon in the toolbar, but under network settings, no airport/wireless device, just another built in ethernet adapter.

I loaded the kext driver, it loaded fine on 10.4.8(kernel 8.8.1). Under system preferences i choose network, and the i got a message that there was a new network card, it was airport. So i tryed to configure it, and when i got to the point of scanning for new networks it froze, so i got a new airport but i could'nt scan for networks. I hoop this will be of help to you.

 

I hoop you get a working driver soon, the only reason that there is windows on my laptop is because i like too use my wireless network.

 

If you need something else just ask, and sorry for my english ;)

ah yes. Good point. I do also have the airport icon. By way of more information, my 'built-in ethernet' (aka my wireless card) is shown by mac to have 'its cable connected' but even with a manually assigned ip address i have nothing.

 

If someone wanted to give a quick tour of the code (what each file is for, where the heart of the driver is, etc.) I could try and contribute to the effort. Though I haven't ever written for apple, I am a professional developer and would probably be able to pick it up with relative ease.

 

Hey, also, if there's a working driver for 3945 let's get it up here to look at. It may give some good clues to what we're missing with this one.

Ok i can scan for networks, and the only networks he finds is "Other Network". But when i try to connect to that network, or when i choose too type the name of my network in de box below it, i get a darker screen with a message "You need to restart you computer, hold you power button for a couple of seconds", so im stuck.

 

But i got two network cards in network preferences, one "Build-in Network" and one "Airport". So my networks cards are detected the only problem is that i cant connect trought my wireless card.

 

The steps i took are,

 

- Put iwi2200.kext in /System/Library/Extensions.

- Fixed the permissions.

- Rebooted.

 

Maybe im missing some steps.

this is the first release of iwi2100.kext and iwi3945.kext

 

i'd like to help developing this cards drivers but i have the 2200BG card

 

the iwi2100, iwi2200 and iwi3945 have common code. i'd like to thank to all people who helped

 

can someone review the supported cards that will work with this drivers? (see info.plist)

iwi2100_source.zip

iwi2100_v1.kext.zip

iwi3945_source.zip

iwi3945_v1.kext.zip
