[Megnus]

Someone send this man a 3945 card!

[Plank]

Running 10.5.0

 

Rev 704

Same KP here after 8.

[jalavoui]

iwi3945 rel 705

test the same way as i said in last post

 

about hardware

i can't accept cards because i work on a imac g3...

 

iwi2200

i know you like to have more features

i can help making new code but i need someone with this card and code abilities to help

the WPA code needs to be implemented

the nsgui can have code for hidden essid, store passwords, etc

 

iwi2100

same as iwi2200

 

iwi4965

better wait for 3945 to be stable

[mlazy]

No immediate KP! Been running for about 7 mins with no issues. Now, when I build and run Network selector, it doesn't seem to do anything. I launch it, select 2, and it jumps back to the menu. Am I doing something wrong? Based on the logs, it's looking around, but I don't see an active "scan".

 

Jalavoui, where are you located? Maybe one of us could loan you a laptop for testing. And if you get this running, I hope you have a paypal acct, there are hundreds of ppl who should step up to support your efforts!

thanks for the fast logs - you should all do this

there's a error in code - i wrote it to fast

i'll upload to svn

wait...

 

iwi3945 rel 706

please TRY to post the initial drive startup log lines

i can't see what happens when the driver load

use kextload to load the driver after mac os x boot

use console ->reload to get all log lines from system.log

[dab77]

..

iwi3945 rel 706

..

 

what shuold i use to compile it?

c++?

I'm asking 'cause there's no compiler on my installation (iATKOS_v1_10.5.1_rc2)

 

please, i would like to help, but it seems my installation doesn't!!

 

thanks for your work

[jalavoui]

iwi3945 rel 707

once i make the inital routines the driver will work

maybe i can do it today

need inital driver system.log lines

tip:

after boot and using kextload /iwi3945.kext

goto system preferences -> network

make shure you have the en1 interface recognized - the driver don't work without this

important: don't install from iwi3945.dmg - xcode will build from svn and place iwi3945.kext on /

networkselector don't work at this time

 

wait...

i'll fix the xcode project and upload to svn

 

ok done for all iwi drivers

updated iwi2100, iwi2200 10.4/10.5 and iwi3945

in mac os x 10.5 i've add the option to build against /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk

in mac os x 10.4 i've put it to build agains current os version

i need someone to upload the .dmg for iwi2200 10.4 and 10.5

[mlazy]

706 logs attached. everything is running, no kp after 10 mins still! Oh, and I manually kextloaded. Was this log better Jalavoui?

you should all see this system.log as an example how to help debuging the driver

 

can you explain this?

en1: RX Probe Response from 00:90:4c:7e:00:6e to 00:19:d2:ac:3c:fa

are this the mac address of your card and of a station near by?

really nice log

[mlazy]

Thanks Jalavoui, let me know if I can help in any other way. Here's logs for 713.

 

syslog713.txt

 

as for building the 2100 and 2200 dmg's, do you just need the projects complied on a 10.5 box? Not sure I understand what you mean, but still happy to help. (And I only have the 3495 of course)

[odessamarin]

iwi2200

i know you like to have more features

i can help making new code but i need someone with this card and code abilities to help

the WPA code needs to be implemented

the nsgui can have code for hidden essid, store passwords, etc

 

But apart from the new features, is it something to do to avoid crash of the system.. freezing?

 

Thank you.

 

PS. If I can help.. I have mini-pci 2200BG in my thinkpad T30. And 10.4.11

[rubinho93]

it looks like it's scanning! (Default is my wireless network name).

 

this is my system.log for Rev 713

 

No KP so far... EDIT: KP after 10-15 mins, I'll see if I can take a picture of it in single user mode...

iwi3945 rel 714

i'm getting confused by the driver...

looks like it sends scan cmd at start?

at this point anyone can try some hacks in code to make it more stable

this is another atempt

AND

stop posting system.log without inital drive log lines

please!

[grrantry]

I don't understand how to get this to Dl and work??

 

Never compiled anything before and all of that

 

Soory for being a newb

[rubinho93]

here is the pic of the kP. It's there after a minute...

 

(for some reason it won't upload my picture, trying via flickr now...)

[mlazy]

OK, 714 logs:

 

You are really getting close now.......

 

 

dmesg714.txt

 

syslog714.txt

 

It seems to be loading automatically as soon as I drop it into /system/library/exensions?

 

update: tried to run network selector. launched, typed 2 for scan, then 1 to turn on/off, got these lines:

 

Apr 15 12:26:18 Sony login[502]: USER_PROCESS: 502 ttys003

Hey, this message might get ignored because you guys are so close to getting the driver working but if someone can tell me where exactly do we get the files to load the kext? I've been asleep at the switch so sorry in advance. lol

 

I want to help out and post kp.

[mlazy]

ok, rebooted and captured syslog during startup.

 

build 714

 

syslog714rb.txt

 

Gahca: you need SVNX, Xcode, and free time to test. thre's a guide like 10 posts back.

[jalavoui]

lol

i'm reading the logs

 

iwi3945 rel 715

in this release you need to use networkselector option for scaning. other options don't work

try it if you get the driver running stable - i think a reboot can make it stay stable

before start scanning open console to see system.log

press networkselector option for start scanning

see if it works in system.log

if it starts scanning close networkselector

 

one very easy thing do to in xcode

in file iwi3945.cpp

in functions start()

there's this line:

IOSleep(1000);//hack

this gives a delay to try to make the driver stable

try this values: 500, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000

see if the driver gets more stable

i can do this but i think there's no point in posting 5 releases for testing

i'll come back later to see logs/reports

thanks

 

ps:

on the iosleep line there's this code:

while (!iwlready((struct iwl3945_priv*)get_my_hw()->priv))

if you can make this work it's better tham use iosleep (can remove iosleep it if it works)

i can't figure out what's the bug on it

[mlazy]

more fun on a 2nd reboot (KP'ed while posting last time)

I want to help out and post kp.

 

Here is the website to go to for Information, and where to download the Drivers.

[jalavoui]

TNW,

the driver is very close to start working

if you have time to check the code

i think you can easily make it work

[mlazy]

Here are some 715 logs. It KP'ed just after I started a scan with netowrk selector. I'll build this version and attach thefiles in a bit for others to play too.
