supported media: autoselect

en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

I have a newly installed Mac OSX 10.4.6 system on my Dell Inspiron 9200. My wireless is an Intel Pro/Wireless 2200bg. I downloaded the package from the iwidarwin website. After downloading the package, I attempted to follow the installation instructions (please bear with me as I am new to MacOSX, having come from the Unix world). I followed the installation instructions that were provided on that site as best I could.

 

After the download completed, the dmg file auto mounted and the installation package was kicked off immediately. Per the instructions, I was supposed to copy the NetworkSelector to a place I would easily remember and run it to configure the wireless card. I checked the package and it wasn't there. So, I went through the installation and afterward, I went into the folder that was created on the desktop and in there, was the NetworkSelector program.

 

I decided to run it, but was immediately presented with the following error:

 

Last login: Thu May 15 09:36:13 on ttyp1

/Users/jlk/Desktop/Archive/Applications/networkSelector; exit

Welcome to Darwin!

jlks-computer:~ jlk$ /Users/jlk/Desktop/Archive/Applications/networkSelector; exit

Could not get ID for kernel control. 2

logout

[Process completed]

 

 

Does anyone have any idea why I am getting this error and how I can correct it? I would be very grateful for any assistance.

 

Thank you in advance!

 

Regards,

 

Jeff

Correct me if I'm wrong (do no see "DRIVER WORKING !!!" post so i think not) but even if the driver do not KP anymore, it also still do not work so actueally there is no point installing it (except provide more log to Jalavoui but he will not touche the code anymore)...

 

If I'm right, many people (including the stupid guy i am) were overexcited for nothing... (It's great that the driver do not KP and make the card on but it's still not usable)

 

If i'm wrong, just forget it and enjoy :(

Guys.

 

- The driver for 3945 and 4965 doesn't work yet.

 

- Jalavoui can't trace the problem(s) for now as he doesn't have the cards to test.

 

- Yes, the network selector looks like that

 

- Dependencies blah blah means you have to set correct permissions for the kext

 

- Try searching and reading instead of whining

Guys! The driver is NOT working at this moment. It means that we still need more developers to come in our project.

 

Jalavoui is not a machine, and he is tired.

He is one of the best developers I've ever seen before, but he is alone now.

 

So let's help him and ask our friends in forums or in real life, those who can develop in C/C++, to bring their brains and their experience in our project.

@kazzi

exactly!!! I couldn't bring it better straight to the point.

 

If you want to help post a log file.

I you want to claim buy something finishes and working like vista ^^

We need serious helpers....

 

@jalavoui

I could connect my system to the internet and you could access it remotely by teamview.

Just send me a PM if you think it could help

I can do some simple things in C++ like maybe making the stations get into a list...

I am a novice C++ developer...

Tried looking at the code earlier.. but don't know how jalavoui is able to find stuff in there.

 

If he or somebody else could tell me what to look at I'll do my best!

Yeah, I think Jalavoui needs some R&R and close this thread. If it gets nowhere and no willing to continue then there's no point to extend this one. If he feel to come back, it will just be the best that he briefly explain in his first post where he left and what he needs, that would give a chances to newbies and new developers to catch up instead of reading 120 pages. There's no point to continue this thread if it getting nowere, and new people will want to bug for new drivers because they always want anything ready cooked in their mouth, they don't realize how much is hard to develop drivers and how far the OSX86 has been since 2 years! I'm amazed to people like Jalavoui who are dedicated to deliver a such amount of time just to make things working for the community.

jalavoui - I get 21 errors (mostly like this: " '::strcoll' has not been declared") while building the kext, is it ok?

 

1st log - before reboot, with headers

 

2nd - 2 reboots, used netSel twice or more times

 

BTW, some MACs are strange (81:81:72:e7:56:01, 84:a1:46:78:00:00 etc.). My neighboor nodes' MACs are of 00:xx:xx..... format

fixed 10.5 dmg bug

you'll need to replace the xcode pkg builder with one from version 2.x

to build

remove the old iwi .dmg

press build

chose the folder to place the pkg file and close the pkg builder

the dmg is build

 

iwi2200 rel 1124

stable for os x 10.5

 

Thanks jalavoui. devoid, would you mind doing a big favor and doing a quick build of the 10.5 iwi2200.dmg since you are already familiar with the process? It will be a few days before I can get back to my testing machine to dig into this new release, and in the meantime others can test... Thanks!

i'm using xcode 3.0 and get no errors

or are you talking about warnings?

can you check the hdr->addr1, hdr->addr2,hdr->addr3,hdr->addr14 values?

they change a lot - are this from stations to your card?

 

 

@irBOrNE,

visit iwidarwin

jalavoui - values of hdr->addr2 & hdr->addr3 are real MACs of my stations, all values of hdr->addr4 are fake (they are not of the "00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" format)

 

hdr->addr1 is "ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff" - I don't know, is it some tech feature (placeholder?) or error of my card. But it never changes.

I'd like to say thank you. I've gotten it work (cannot connect to my WPA network), but I can see it. (iwi2200.dmg) That's a big improvement over Leopard's built in support.

 

Help this guy out. If I knew how to code, I'd lend a hand. His efforts should be applauded.

 

Hopefully a WPA supported version is on the horizon.

Hi, I got the latest dmg file and installed on my X60s, but met panic at the first boot. From the second boot, no panic again but nsGUI cannot get the MAC address and shows "scanning"....

I'm not familiar with mac os and now donot understand how to get the log like others.

Checked in Network Utility and System Profiler, seems that the Wlan card can be recognized as a wired LAN card. So thanks for your hard work!!! :blink:
