I think im sinking deeper into his hole! After doing something (randomly trying to delete the file) I somehow managed to get the error boot.plist is not found.......... oh sh*t! how do i get it to rewrite? I don't have the installation cd with me now......

[i_Geek]

for 3945 development maybe this will help out ... especially last post > http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/su...ss-3945-440538/

I'll get working on the installation package, give me around an hour from this post.

edit: the kext/networkSelector/nsGUI.app in the latest installation package show a last-modified date of April 21st.

the most recent modification uploaded to the SVN on iwi2200.cpp was on April 17th.

I don't have a 2200 to test, but the installation package in the disk image file on the SVN appears to be up to date.

 

Thanks devoid. Unfortuantely the latest iwi2200 svn DMG that's been there for a while isn't working, and I can't find any earlier versions to revert to. Basically when trying to choose a certain SSID to connect to, it will either randomly start cycling through multiple SSID's (including ones I did not select(?)), or appear to connect but not obtain a DHCP address and no network connectivity. Manually setting the IP in this case doesn't work either. This driver was working well previously, so I'm not sure what happened, something seems to have gotten messed up... I will try to post some logs later tonight when I can get back to my 'tosh if that will help.

 

EDIT: This is only the 10.5 version I am referring to FYI...

[rusteswan]

Same again from iwi3945 version 891.

 

installed kext fine, rebooted fine first time.

 

 

Hope this stuff is proving useful.....

read the 1st post and build iwi2200.dmg

i'll help you if you can't

 

last log is the worst i've ever seen

at leat look at linux log to know what to search for

can someone post a good tested log for this

the driver is sending a reassoc response

[pere]

Javalui, I have tried the last 3 versions, and i dont post log cause i cant find anything useful on them.

 

Is supossed we have to try the card starts correctly and then get a kp, post here the pic so you can see the details, is that right?

 

Everytime i can get my card start correctly, it just freeze, dont give any KP

And when the card start incorrectly, then gives the famous SYS ASSERT.

OK, I would like to give it a try tonight or tomorrow when I am back at my Leo machine and have some time to walk through learning this procedure (especially now that we have the great tutorial from devoid!) Otherwise, if someone has these tools already installed and would like to go for it ahead of me, feel free to do so, as I don't want to keep others waiting..

[grrantry]

What kernel is needed for this to work??

[mlazy]

Hey all,

 

899 xboot, manual load. Loads for about 15 seconds, then hard freeze.

 

899xboot.txt

[jalavoui]

this should work better

 

iwi3945 rel 900

iwi4965 rel 901

[mlazy]

900 log. Regular boot, manual kexload. Correct me if I'mwrong, but it looks like it loads well, gets a Microcode HW error, reboots, gets a UCode error, then loops?

 

Going to go test a few more times...

 

900.txt

 

Update: -x boot gives me immediate kp on kextload.

[jalavoui]

when the driver gets this

IWL_DEBUG_INFO("ALIVE processing complete.\n");

it's ready for 1st scan

this call fires up also after using the switch off/on

i'll add a scan call to this and upload to svn

here are logs from rev903, wiw4965. I have them upon install and restart. No KP but it took a while to start the OS up on restart. It loaded only after like 5 minutes of text for the 4965 scrolling across the screen. It was too fast, but attached is the copy of system.log from the reboot. I honestly don't know how to read this stuff, so I appologize if the log is no good. Hopefully it will help though

 

also, i got an error when compiling the kext. Did anyone else? And if you didn't can you post your kext and ill retest using it?

this is very interesting the scan loops with a 20 seconds delay - nop seems to be manual?

can you post this log with associate/disassociate/rfkill actions

 

iwi3945/4965

need log with lines from driver startup

 

scan loop

pere,

can you try other values for iosleep hack? might make the driver more stable

[pere]

Katched a KP finally.

 

Iwi 3945 last version.

 

Log from reboot. (Have ucode errors).

 

EDIT:

Going to try the iosleep hacks.

 

 

EDIT 2:

 

After raise the iosleep to 4000, get a little bit more, stable, still have time outs on transmit rx on.

 

Log attached.

iwi3945 rel 902No KP of freezes, but I take error "en1 not running", and no 1st scan init.iwi3945 rel 904First 2 reboots -> freezes, then norm. Still have "en1 not running", it's something with "if (!netif_running(dev))"? BTW, I take an error when building kexts (902, 904), shot is below. Some script?

yep, you're right

let's fix it

 

iwi3945 rel 906

iwi4965 rel 907

 

last version for today

 

pere,

i change the call to ieeeopen

this can change driver stability - the drive will only start loading after call enable()

can you test? - i mean hack

i think if you hack the way the driver calls ieeeopen (eg. split commands) you get more stability

 

the password bug is because the "sudo" commands don't work in xcode for 10.5 - try to use your root account
