Advokit Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Yes please a solution to WM3945 would be fantastic. Unless any else knows if there is a compatible replacement for DELL D620. I have a compatible card in my other DELL but the new one is half the size. Dammit!!!

lostproc Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'm with the other USB adopters. It's been a long wait and I needed to move on. Picked up an ASUS WL-167g for $26 and it works fine with my Kaly 10.4.10 and 10.5.4 images running on a Thinkpad T-60. Good luck to all and if something does get working then even better, but for now, I have CI/QE, audio and now working wireless and I am very happy with my hackintosh Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84072-intel-wireless-2100-2200bg-2915bg-3945abg-4965agn/page/123/#findComment-994460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACOX Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 That's being resourcefull! Good luck Lostproc. I'm planning for a dualboot b/w XP and OpenSuse. My MAC(ed) laptop is completely offline, so just need to utilize the hardware I paid for.

buildersofmachines Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Can't we just buy used (or new) airpot minipci cards with broadcom chips in them and replace our slow intel 3945? It should run native in OSX.

Ongeloof Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I agree. I think after this amount of time people re getting impatient. I have the 3945ABG, but also a WG11 floating around, and neither work, so im stucking using some other computers, while this has no net. Come on guys, can you sort the 3945 out. Were all begging you lot.

zecaribroute Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 i think people wants to know if it's possible, and many people want this driver ... so if you take a notebook with this wifi card (3945) You make the drivers (2 days like write on the top of the post) when you finnish it, u sell the driver for 10 $ and you sell the netbook --> i'm sure you will win a lot of money and you will not need to sell the notebook, i think all people like me wants to buy like 10 $ to have this {censored} driver ^^ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84072-intel-wireless-2100-2200bg-2915bg-3945abg-4965agn/page/123/#findComment-999709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ongeloof Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Its been god knows how long though, surly its rather easy to get hold of this driver. Even if people with the card sent the info you needed for it, you could try better, as its obvious that the current SVN doesnt work. Mark {censored}.

Advokit Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Solved my wireless problem picked up a replacement wireless card that was compatible with my laptop and voila.

TehRob Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Which card did you purchase? Does anyone know any USB dongles that will work that I can get from Newegg or Bestbuy? I picked up a Belkin F5D7050 to actually use for my Ubuntu. Regarding Ubuntu, what made it difficult to use was that this particular adapter used 3 or 4 different chips in them. For my Kalyway 10.5.2/10.5.5 I was able to use a Prism and a Ralink (2 out of the 3/4 chipsets used for these) based adapter perfectly. Both of the adapters worked out of the box for me with WPA2 support and that's what I'm posting from now. Amazon has them both new and used from $15.00 + $4.99 s/h to $50.00 brand new. (Never pay more than $29.99 new though). eBay has loads of them for very respectable prices. Hope it helps, Rob On another note (and not to jump on the complain train) I recall waiting for the same drivers while I was installing my Ubuntu/Kubuntu distros. I remember being linked to this thread at times nearly a year ago. Am I to understand that with all of the donations that were given, a suitable notebook hasn't been purchased to "test and create" drivers for the respective requested adapters?I'd be happy to donate if I knew what the tally and goal is.

mercurysquad Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I guess there's absolutely no progress on the driver whatsoever, we would certainly hear about it! Don't speculate about, CHECK YOURSELF and don't wait on people to tell you. http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/source/list That is the list of all source code changes in chronological order.

srs5694 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Which card did you purchase? Does anyone know any USB dongles that will work that I can get from Newegg or Bestbuy? I'm not the person you asked, but I've been using a TRENDnet TEW-424UB (available from NewEgg) for some time now. It's based on a Realtek 8187B chipset. It works pretty well under MacOS X. The drivers (available on Realtek's Web site) make it look like an Ethernet adapter, so you have to use Realtek's utility to set up WiFi-specific stuff like WAP settings, then use MacOS X's tools for more generic network options like DHCP vs. manual IP address. I haven't tried installing Linux drivers, which I gather are awkward -- but Linux has native drivers for the 4965AGN chipset in my laptop, so that's a non-issue for me. One caveat: When I did my initial research, I found conflicting information on what chipset the TRENDnet TEW-424UB uses. I suspect that it's changed over its lifetime, as manufacturers sometimes do. I don't recall what other chipsets may have been used, but my research turned up MacOS X drivers for the alternatives. Thus, it's conceivable that if you buy one of these you'll end up having to track down drivers. FWIW, I bought mine about half a year ago, so presumably the 8187B chipset was the current one at that time.

Advokit Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I used the Dell Truemobile 1490 MiniPCI Card and it works fine with Kalyway 10.5.2, it uses a broadcom chipset I believe. There is general a compatible card that you can swap out, no intel wireless cards seem to be compatible but most realtek and broadcom ones are. I would far prefer to use an internal wifi card over a USB dongle as the range is better and there is no risk of snapping off your dongle. If you are a hardware n00b there is generally a walkthrough on how to change laptop wireless cards over. Its dead simple and cheap. My card was $22US on Ebay.
