problem of setPOWER is spcific 10.4.8?

i have not idea because i dont research this.

I dont undersntad that status of iwi2200 project on sf.

I want to place for sharing sourecode ( with version controll system) because I do changing many thing .

 

there are many people whos test driver in this forum . it is not bad.

but i want place sharing source code ...

 

 

xkazu

 

 

i'll test your code with the 10.4.7 IO80211 family. it might work better.

 

i agree with you - we should find a place to share the code (maybe with cvs)

 

i've made some changes to the code that you migt want to use

iwi2200_source.zip

Using the new 2100 driver...

 

From the system log...

Jan 15 21:33:17 localhost configd[60]: WirelessAirPortDeviceNameCopy(): no AirPort driver found
Jan 15 21:33:17 localhost configd[60]: AppleTalk startup

 

 

BaselineAce you should change to 10.4.8 and use the semthex kernel

 

i've posted the way i update from 10.4.4 to 10.4.8

 

don't use the IO80211Family.kext from 10.4.8 use the 10.4.5-10.4.7 update insted

 

 

i don't know nothing about the 2100 cards. does it have a led? do you know the vender/id of the card (it should be set in the info.plist)

 

can someone post a script in howto upgrade the IO80211Family.kext and Apple80211.framework from 10.4.4 to 10.4.7 - i noticed that some people don't know how to do it

Thanks for it xkazu, will test it out and get back to you in a while...

 

edit: ok, loaded the file, but cannot associate to any ap... xkazu, any method u used? i am trying to connect to my school's open network.

 

edit 2: causes a kernel panic after a time of usage... approx 5min... happens everytime...

 

plz attached log.

 

I dont know the cause without log.

 

this binary is complied in 10.4.8 (8.8.1 kernel semthex ).

sorry,I dont know about other environment ( i dont have another version)

 

I dont know the reason of kernel panic after 5min.

(perhaps ... kernel panic occur when card try to supend at scanning)

 

 

connecting method is the same as v4.

 

kextload ./iwi2200.kext
sleep 5
ifconfig en1 down && ifconfig en1 up

hi all,

 

i've load the new iwi2200.kext by xkazu but i cant scan any of my AP.

am i missing something? do i need to change back to the 10.4.7 IO80211Family.kext ?

 

as usual the locking happened after 5min, so i unload the kext already.

please find the attachment for my log.

 

thanks

kinwah

 

 

run Terminal.App

and type

 

sudo /sbin/ifconfig en1 down && /sbin/ifconfig en1 up

I get kernel panic too on my Lappy. I am using b8 kernel on 10.4.8 Jas OSX. I have tried the Intel 3945 kext. Currently I have working ASUS USB dongle, but it would be great if my internal Wlan would come to life.

 

greetings

gregor

Hi. I Load iwi220_v4_ipw_assc.kext in 10.4.3 kernel 8.3.1 and after ifconfig en1 down && ifconfig en1 up my laptop get network info. Maybe it help you...

 

I read this log.

AP's network name is "INCORE" ?

if you have not problem, plz tell me thing after this log.

 

if you found "darwin_iwi2200: associated: 'INCORE' 00:17:9a:10:eb:d2" after this log,

it is no problem.

i've made some changes to the code that you migt want to use

I read new your code.

 

rx ring buffer will be removed and buffer of linux ipw2200 will be used ?( like a RxQueueIntr ).

if you change it like a ipw2200, I must change my implmentation.

 

and i already start to write code of xmit routine and ipw_rx_data_packet ...

Thank you jalavoui. For whoever asked how to grab those logs, go in terminal and write

sudo ioreg > ioreg.txt

sudo dmesg > dmesg.txt

 

then scan /var/log/system.log ( i think ) and grab the relevant information and try and specify where errors , panics or anything abnormal occured in the log.

 

 

Any progress on the 3945 driver ? the current driver did not seem to work with anyone yet.

Ok i found my usbstick, here are my logs. The driver crashes when i try to connect to a accesspoint. Maybe the logs are of some help to you.

I dont understand what driver should do when user set network name ...

Well i tried some more with the 3945 driver, still no luck whatsoever. ifconfig reports interface en1. There is no mac address there either. Doing ifconfig en1 up / down whatever doesnt seem to do anything. Setting the airport off reports msgs in dmesg saying they are ignored.

 

While cycling the power through the laptop's hotkey for the wireless, i did get some sort of reponse from dmesg, but only the first time. Now no more.

 

So anyway, I did a test run in the console with ifconfig and dmesg to show whats going on .. Maybe it will help .. I would put system.log, but there's no point cause there's nothing in there thats not in dmesg...

 

Let me know how else I could help

Yes, "INCORE" is AP's network name.

I not found "darwin_iwi2200: associated: 'INCORE' 00:17:9a:10:eb:d2" in log.

After that log loop and about 5 minits kernel panic.
