Can I ask a really stupid question today? Not that I am actually stupid, However dumb this question is. It seems to me that the code you seek first off, is not in linux. It is however a Bsd as in FreeBsd background. Second has anyone looked at the old kexts, or patches for FreeBsd (Unix), and tried to add them into the static list of the new kexts that have airport drivers, and add the line to the static area within the new format of the 10.5.1+ kext. Then rebuild the kexts (compile). I have been used to patching this way in FreeBsd since 94. And also did that for a few things i will not mention here in 10.4.4 on up. Just a thought. Probably a stupid thought, but nevertheless a thought to think about. Anyways

I have a xps m170 with intel pro 2915. I will give a hand in testing and rebuilding the kext from scratch if needed. But i will first try the patch method first. I just installed 10.5.2 (from intel combo update) today. I will try it out within a few days. Thanks for the time in reading this.

Best of luck to all, I will report back in a few. Until then If someone can get Get the FReebsd patch for 2915 or higher. If you can not find them let me know i will look for them. But i rather focus on testing on 10.5.2. I can devote 10 hours a day for the next few weeks on this. As i am on a holiday.

hello,

I'm french and I've succeded to install mac os X on my dell vostro 1700 thanks to this forum!

Actually, I've a 4965agn on my laptop and I have any idea how to install the driver for it in mac os x.

 

Could you explain me step by step how to do please because I don't understand exactly what are kext etc...

 

Thank you

Hi all!

 

It's for saying that the developement of the driver is NOT stopped at all ,

I corrected the error when the driver send a command, but it has a KP,

I will corrected that tomorow(I will have a day off and the week end is coming ;D ).

 

For proof I give you my current version ,

I you have time , can you post photo with the log of the driver (when you are lauching the driver , in an other terminal start a command "dmesg" ), that will help me .

 

Bye.

 

 

EDIT: Some explication about the 4965 for Yeye.

 

Salut Yeye ,

 

Alors bienvenue sur le topic , donc je vais essayer d'expliquer la situation , le driver pour 4965 n'existe pas encore dans

sa version stable .

Mais avec les avancements sur le driver 3945 ,normalement le driver pour ta carte devrait arrivait bientôt , je n'ai pas la date , ni l'heure biensur.

 

à bientôt

will it ever be possible for the 2200 to be detected as an airport?? Or will we always have to use it as nsGUI??

 

Yes that's possible , but I can't do that because I don't have an 2200 card and at this moment we don't know how to

show the scan result.

 

But maybe when the 3945 will be finshed , I going to start this.

 

:D

Hi ,

This new version has no more KP , and seems to be fine .

 

Now the card is waiting for scan , associating ,... I will start this now.

The Powersave seems to work ( that fine ).

 

I need your help :

 

I have a problem with IOMallocContiguous (DMAallocMemory doesn't work too), so the driver is working 50% of the time .

It's a surprise , surprise XD.

 

For instance (Bad lauch):

 

 error iwl3945: U iwl3945_enqueue_hcmd Sending command POWER_TABLE_CMD (#77), seq: 0x0400, 36 bytes at 0[0]:4
Wait POWER_TABLE_CMD Condition: 0ms left
error iwl3945: Error sending POWER_TABLE_CMD: time out after 50ms.

 

 

Can you post your log of the new driver ?

 

Thank's and Bye !

It's an error about IOMallocContiguous , and I think therre is no hope to use this (IOMallocContiguous)...

 

We need two 2 segments of memory contiguous with a page-size of 16K but OSX have trouble to alloc a page-size over 4k.

Hello guys!

I have installed the iwi2200 and now the wireless seems to be detected, but when i "set the power on" on the nsGUY the OS hangs and it's not responding....yuo have experienced this problem?

I have an Acer 5504WXMi laptop.

I assume you already read the source for IOMallocContiguous and it may not help much. But it seems page-size is a pre-defined const, what do you mean 16k and 4k here for page-size? Sorry if it's a newbie question.

i don't know if you changed pci_alloc_consistent() but you should changed it to:

 

void *pci_alloc_consistent(struct pci_dev *hwdev, size_t size, int pagesize,

dma_addr_t *dma_handle) {

return IOMallocContiguous(size, pagesize, dma_handle);

}

 

and need to change all calls to this function with the right pagesize value otherwise it will never work

 

in iwi2200 i use MemoryDmaAlloc() for firmware memory allocations and IOMallocContiguous() for tx init

take a look and try it in iwi3945

 

maybe this work fine in 10.5 - you need to test it:

//gOSMallocTag = OSMalloc_Tagalloc("insanelymac.iwidarwin.control", OSMT_DEFAULT);// OSMT_PAGEABLE

 

if the iwl3945_send_power_mode() is giving fw errors - remove it. i was unable to use this in iwi2200

 

About posting logs

 

please use this

http://iwidarwin.googlecode.com/files/getlogs3.command.zip

to post logs

 

we need logs for iwi2200 and iwi3945

 

i'd like to help more writing code but my imac just won't let me :)

In the source , look at the parameter "aligment" , it isn't pre-defined.

 

 

 

MemoryDmaAlloc uses kIOMemoryPhysicallyContiguous and the method member inTaskWithOptions of IOBufferMemoryDescriptor uses IOMallocContiguous.

I'll take a look at OSMalloc_Tagalloc.

 

The question is how can I have 16k of memory with contiguous physical adresse ?

Maybe with DART?

 

Many thank's !!!

 

Herre the log of the new driver when it loads ;)

My logs from a Samsung Q45 laptop. Hope I've done this right. I'm a complete newcomer to OS X.

 

Thanks for all the hard work :thumbsup_anim:

 

Incidentally, my hangs on the first occurrence of the line containing mDNSResponder in the console log unless I boot with the -x safe mode flag. Is this because of the network drivers or some other reason?

dmesg.txt

ioreg.txt

system.txt

i Have never made logs before... after i do this:

 

open Terminal

% sudo -s

% cd ~/Desktop

% dmesg > dmesg.txt

% cat /var/log/system.log > system.txt

% ioreg -w 0 > ioreg.txt

 

Now you have 3 log files; dmesg.txt, system.txt and ioreg.txt you can find them on the desktop

 

and i have the 3 log files on my desktop, do i just post them or do i have to do something else??
