The drivers don't work. Please, read the forums BEFORE posting. The drivers don't work because the developer's computer is fried. We are donating to him so he can get another computer to continue developing them.

Whenever i try to connect to a WEP Network i get a BUS Error...Is anyone else getting this or know a resolution ???

 

Yes I had the same error with NetworkSelector and I patched it.

I'm currently working on nsGui (for Leopard) and I hope I'll have enough time to finish my work this week to post a testing version of iwidarwin for 2200BG (this will include the patched NetworkSelector).

I can't believe it's almost complete! (been waiting for about a 1yr here but I can't possibly complain because of the hard work being made)

 

My wireless card is practically the only component not working on my Toshiba but everything else is perfect (video, sound etc)

I had almost lost all hopes of using Mac OSX on my Acer Aspire 5570 ANWXCI, the land card and wifi IWI 3945 both failed to connect, due to this i resorted to buying a Dlink USB Wifi, and now it works! But I am still waiting for a change to remove the USB Wifi dongle for the best thing - a working IWI 3945, good luck guys, hope we make it the soonest!!! :(

the IOFreeContiguous() gives me firmware errors in iwi2200 replace it from my last post

you can write the skb_xxx functions for mac os - this will make the linux code run with less modifications. in iwi2200.h you'll find more skb converted functions

you're going in the right direction - converting some linux functions makes the code much easier to work

what version of iwl3945 are you using?

TNW is working with iwl3945 1.0 and ioethernetcontroller

you're working with apple80211

i think you should commit your code to the svn trunk to a folder called "iwi3945-airport10.5

i think symuc as started ported from latest linux source (with apple80211)

you should wait for him to commit is version of iwl3945

this will save you from having to convert all linux code again and will allow you to use the same linux source

i like your version with ioethernetcontroller - do you plan do keep it or move to apple80211?

 

at this time iwi3945 can scan for networks

but the hard part will be to write code for the rx/tx handle.

TNW, you can try to use the new mac80211 functions for rx/tx - this will be hard to do

or you can try to use the ieee80211 rx/tx functions from iwi2200 - they're stable

 

have you fixed the anoying iwl_send_cmd() bug?

you need to remove

if (rc==HOST_COMPLETE_TIMEOUT) priv->status &= ~STATUS_HCMD_ACTIVE;//hack

otherwise the commands will always be send

in iwl_rx_handle() you have

reclaim=0;

i think this can give a bug - remove it and check

check iwl_rx_queue_alloc() - remove IOMallocContiguous()

if you don't use IOMallocContiguous() remove all IOFreeContiguous()

 

can you commit iwi2200.dmg to iwi2200-osx10.5 ? we need to have people testing the driver

i think with some good logs you can make a few changes in the source code to make it work

you can check if iwi2200 loads in your computer by adding your card id to info.plist - just remove it before committing to svn

 

you should add in iwi3945-osx10.5 svn tree the property "svn:ignore build" this will prevent the build folders to be committed to the svn tree. i found strange files there - do you need stdio.h and _types.h?

if you move nsgui from iwi2200 take a look at the run script in xcode. you also need to add new folders (iwi3945) to allow it to build iwi3945.dmg

we need people with 2100 and 4965 cards to join iwidarwin

i'd like to have all drivers working in mac os x 10.5 ;)

 

Ethan021,

if you have xcode and like to help please do it

we need more developers to make this work

 

 

I have 2100 card. But I am not program developer. How can I help you?

Hi to all who give priceless efforts for developing drivers.

 

i have a 3945abg card on my hp pavillion dv9000 laptop and i'm ready to try your codes everyday if you send them to me. and i'll send the results that you wanna know, back to you. maybe it's like catching the right ear with the left hand over your head but an operating system without internet !?%& you know what i mean.

 

and also i'm willing to share my laptop with a remote connection over my working ethernet card while i'm at work between hours 9am-6pm gmt+2.

 

anyone interested in my offer? or anyone has an offer?

Guys why are you trying the driver that is confirmed not working? This is futile effort in trying to fix something none of us know how it works. Let the developer come out with a working release. There seem no point otherwise posting about the failure of something that is already flawed.

Please, respect Javalui thread and work and erase all your offtopic posts from the thread before a mod come here and ban you

 

Wow man. Way to show your backbone there. Not a mod! What would happen if this pointless account was ripped from your little clammy grip.

 

The whole 3945abg whine pisses me off. I went out and USBed it. Officially over. I still have one so I check. However I also check the weather on the dashboard occasionally. Not because I care, just because it's there.

 

Cards are like $30. Soak it up.

 

Mods, feel free to ban me.

I said since this post started that nobody will be able to make this 3945abg working. That's why i got as soon as possible a netgear usb wifi that has been working awesome (WEP and WPA). Good luck those that are still trying...

Well, my whole thing is that time is money, and the < $50 that I spent on a Hawking Tech USB wireless device was money well-spent and time well-spent. I don't have time to develop a driver, and obviously, Jalavoui doesn't, either.

 

His last post was 10/24, before that was September. He has a computer, but obviously has very little time. Either that, or he truly is not interested in the whole thing. Those are the only two possibilities here, boys and girls!

 

I hate to be a downer, as I was initially hopeful and sent money off to someone for this. But, no dice. I am quite convinced that someone ran off with my loot (and probably a lot of others' money as well) and said hasta la vista.

 

Wait as you wish; it's been well over a year and still no driver or sign of one working soon. But, if you want wireless, I highly recommend going out and spending a few dollars for a USB wireless device that is smaller than a BIC lighter and can probably be had for about $30 and enjoy your Hackintosh. If you spent so much cash for a computer to begin with, you definitely have a spare $30 around for a piece of hardware.

 

Good luck.

 

Mike

So since this isn't likely to be finished anytime soon, does anyone else think it might be worth porting the WORKING FreeBSD iwi driver over to OSX? Since apparently porting the WORKING linux driver doesn't seem to be happening.
