HP has there own custom made bios which is very simple but it's good becouse you can controll fan speed

[MagicWTF]

Nikhe your sig says you have a working 3945, was this a typo, or did something work magically, if so please pm me how, I want to have my hack up and running when I go back to school in september, it would be awesome to start school for comp sci with something like this

[Guest BuildSmart]

If you want to donate the money for a laptop and then send me the cards you want to be working I can spend some time on a regular basis and try to finish the drivers he started.

 

I've already done a working AR5001X driver so I do have some experience in this area.

 

My offer is good while I'm feeling generous so think about it.

[uektper]

Yes, buy a new bios chip, it's about 10$, 20$ max

And if you try the new chip, try not to burn the whole computer

for my own part, I think I am going to buy a USB...

good luck to all

I have iATKOS's v4.1 Leopard on my HP dv1738 (the exact type of laptop Jalavoui needs, but I live in the US, and i'm not willing to ship my laptop halfway across the world.) and it is awesome, but not practical. Especially without WIFI. I know that you developers do this stuff in spare time, and you do a pretty good job. I agree that Jalavoui should've gotten cards specific to his actual notebook. (and I know HP makes so many models, that parts are easily swapped with no problems) The cards are all the same, maybe except for a string that differs from with the BIOS says, and that's where we have problems. My HP actually uses the Phoenix BIOS, I believe. Operating Systems usually can be fixed, but the BIOS is the thin spread of butter that connects the bridge of hardware and software. Your laptop can be fixed, and I do hope you don't give up on the project. You seem to be the only one keeping the progress going right now. OS X is NOT practical to me without WIFI, so you have great respects from me.

 

Also, I am willing to help with the project if I can. I can say that MY 3945abg card DOES see networks, but will not connect. This wasn't the case before using iATKOS's version. (I was using Toh's RC2, and found that I got TONS more KP's...and your driver would NOT work) I personally don't know anything about the code, but you aren't far off at all Jalavoui. When it says "attempting to associate with network" (or the such) you only get that prompt for about a second before it goes back to the "main menu" where you have the 1, 2, 3, and 5 options.

 

This is a 2 step progress and, as far as i'm concerned, step 1...getting our card to SEE networks is a MAJOR achievement. Step 2 is, of course, getting it to ASSOCIATE! haha

 

BuildSmart: I am broke. I'm a highschooler with no money. ,but I do like your offer, and I hope for those that have extra pennies (after donating to your Church...no sarcasim) will hand some over to get this working. :pirate2:

 

If you need log files, If you want me to get the developer's pack and you tell me what to do, I'm game.

 

Think about it,

Tried the stable svn of 2100. it can see the networks available but i cant seem to connect to them. The network that I was trying to connect is a WEP network. Can that be the problem?

[epholx86]

Hello all...

 

tired of waiting for this project to succeed (iwi39451bg) and because of i really want to online with my Latitude D620, i just bought USB WiFi adapter... its TP-Link TL-WN321G... so, my problem settle now... but i still hope this project will be success one day... i will follow this thread/topic until that day come...

 

Thanks to Jalavoui for his efford... and good luck....

I too have been waiting eternity for the 395 abg proset wireless. I saw the other day on ebay latest broadcom wireless n mini cards so thats what I have odered. They are the ones out of the mac laptops so they will work straight out of the box. Its a matter of opening the bottom panel on my laptop, taking it out and putting the new one in - problem solved - plus N is much faster than G so its like a future thing.

 

At least it will be the most mac compatible thing in my laptop anyways as some of the other patched drivers can be buggy or not fully functional.

[Krazubu]

Jalavoui, it seems there are several ways to restore the BIOS, check the net.

I found something interesting here

 

Anyway, if you recently bought this laptop, why not simply RTM it ?

Can you report back and let us know which specific model you purchased and whether or not it worked? With all due respect to jalavoui and all the other developers that are kind and intelligent enough to devote all the time they have for this project, I have gone without wifi for way too long and am ready to purchase something that just works.

It is a no go. I swapped my macbook card for my compaq presario C702 3945 and it failed to boot. I am now waiting patiently for jalavoui to complete the driver successfully or my order for a used HP broadcom card from a repair shop.

BTW I am chinese and my posts had been removed. :angry2: I understand(read previous post) that Krazubu, the mod will delete posts that are irrelevant.

[jalavoui]

i'm not worried about the hp laptop - it was a gift from a friend

now i have a lot of spare parts and i'll use it on another laptop

i'll buy a cheap acer with no whitelisted wireless bios to make the drivers

this can take some time but i'm shore some of you will wait

 

iwi2100

the driver is stable for osx 10.4

not tested in osx 10.5

only unsecured networks are supported

 

iwi3945/4965

the driver only scan networks - nothing else

[Xenn0X]

jalavoui did you recieve my package?

[zeldakid1227]

jalavoui. My 3945 scans and finds my network!

 

im uploading wy degub og or w/eva via the .com hosted on the DarwinIwI gCode

 

anything you want me to do to help the project, i WILL do. except flashing my bios

 

I have very basic knowledge in programming, but think that between the 2 of us we could finally knock out this SOB WiFi Chipset!

 

if you would like my help you can email me at zeldakid1227@gmail.com

 

or just AiM(iChat) me @ T3hc0ol3sthair

iwi2100

the driver is stable for osx 10.4

not tested in osx 10.5

only unsecured networks are supported

 

I'm using 10.4.9 so I guess it is stable. Secured network not supported? Oh I guess that's the reason why it wont connect. Will it be supported soon? Anything I can do to help?

 

Anyway, I booted my Puppy Linux (2.6.21.7) to see wifi works there. As expected, it detected it (Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B) but when I looked at the kernel module that was loaded it was: ipw2200. Does this mean that the ipw2200 can be used too with 2100? (May be the ipi2100 can be tweaked a little so that it can connect to secured networks)

[RaMDaY]

Hey everyone. I installed the drivers for the iwi3945 and it recognizes my wifi hardward however, in the network settings it is reading my mac address as ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff and says the cable is unplugged. The networkSelector app will not scan for networks. Is there anyway to fix this or do I have to wait for more stable drivers?

 

 

 

Here is a link the laptop I'm using.

[TheEther]

If you'll show this thread the respect of reading a few of the posts you'll know whats up. I might start by figuring out who the developer is that is working on the drivers and then read his posts. Maybe read his last post on the previous page. That's the only answer you'll get.

[jalavoui]

jalavoui did you recieve my package?

 

yes - thanks for sending

[ReyZ]

jalavoui you do a great job...

thx a lot

:censored2:

[Magister]

Hi please help, I ve got the Intel 3945ABG adapter. I have downloaded the latest driver and installed them. When I want to use network selector I got an error : could not get ID for kernel control .2?

 

Anyone who has got the same problem? I have got a Sony Vaio VGN SZMN.

 

I am using Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD

 

Thanks a lot

topic is:

Intel Wireless 2100, 2200bg, 2915bg, 3945abg, 4965agn, drivers for mac os x 10.4 and 10.5 *under development*

[nanagn]

good job on the driver! i have a 2915abg and am happy to see how quickly you've gone since back when i had 10.4.7 (now on 10.5.2) last year back then all you had was network selector and it only connected to unsecure networks, now my card is even read as an airport card! however network preferences always crashes unless im connected to a wireless network. I was just wondering, do you think you'll ever be able to make a iwi2200 driver that will get Mac OS X to recognize my card as an airport card and use the airport interface for connecting to networks?

 

cheers

[audioboi]

iwi2200 works. but the internet (in osx) is slow compared in winxp... anyone experiencing this?

[pere]

I have just 133 posts on insanelymac, 120 of them are helping Javalui to develope the driver making tests and hacks, now i have picked a 4965 intel wifi, so if javalui needs more testers about this card i can help using 3945 or 4965.

 

What i would like, is see his posts, so people, just keep quiet and wait for him. And if you cant read the whole thread, at least read the first post and wait...

Please moderator,consider to erase my post as the more important ones are Javalui´s.

[Gabik123]

pere! ur back!

 

i don't know what J is up to, my laptop was out for repairs for a while, now just chilling. I picked up some addlogic usb wireless adapter from PC mall for cheap, the 10.4 drivers work fine in leopard while we wait for a driver. i think J busted his bios chip, so i guess we wait.
