for all the kind donations javalui has been getting, i think the least he could do is to keep us updated. come on, in the outside world, every organization keeps their sponsors updated of their event happenings..

 

it's really not right to keep everyone waiting like this. if the driver is not working, i think we would all appreciate him telling us instead of keeping quiet for so long!

 

just look at all the frustration he's causing! give him the respect? what respect is he giving us? i'll respect you if you keep us updated, javalui.

 

thanks

Jeez, c'mon, take a break !! every 1 !!!

the dude is obviously working as hard as he can with or without helping devs,

so GIVE HIM A BREAK PLS. just BE patient,

and delete irrelevant posts to this thread, i.e., post that don't involve debugging info related to producing a working driver, which should really be posted to the iwidarwin bug threads if any??

tnx.

as soon as i get i laptop that is good for making the drivers i'll update this thread and iwidarwin

 

i don't know when the drivers will be ready...

 

thanks for helping

 

 

driver status:

 

iwi2100/2200

working

need to fix some bugs

 

iwi3945/4965

don't work

need other developers to look at old code and try to fix it

 

i'd really like to see some developer work in this thread

ok, but now please write with more frequency in this thread, if you wuold i can test your driver on my laptop with 4965 and 3945......

I hope that i can help you.......

 

Good work

P.S. if you need to contact me send an email develop900@gmail.com

Friends, I believe:

 

He needs the hardware itself.

He needs developers, who can write the code. If he has the hardware he can test it himself.

He does not need testers.

He needs people who can fix the errors.

 

 

If we're doing anything else, we're just wasting ink. We can always wait, on the other hand replacing the card with Broadcom 43xx (Dell DW 1490), would be a sure shot option. It's just a matter of choice.

So you mean , he is one of us :( a user.

Hey guys... I was wondering if there was any movement on a 3945 driver... I'm not a coder, so I can't offer any development help, but whatever I might be able to do to assist, let me know....

Sorry guys, for some reasi=on, I did not see the recent posts here... Last displayed prior to my post was sometime in April...

one hour ago i bought a D-link DWA-110 USB wireless adapter from an oem store. now i'm connected internet with it. if you don't wanna wait for the 3945abg drivers you just have to spend 20 dollars and a hour.

 

just put the driver cd, install 10.4.x driver package restart and you're done. works great with kalyway 10.5.2 vanilla.

 

just a recommendation for your mac love and nervous system health :unsure:

 

leave this jalavoi guy free.

So you mean , he is one of us a user.

 

I don't know Krrr, but perhaps he's short of time to write a driver. Meanwhile a lot of people have replaced the hardware itself to some Mac compatible one. That does really saves time as kecionur said. It's actually not a very practical idea to have a semi-fucnctional system just because we don't have the drivers. Rebooting into another OS just because Mac can not connect to the world, really kills most of it's productivity. I run XP for that purpose because Mac is virtually disconnected from the world. Solution is, just replace the hardware or change the OS. If you're a Microsoft rival, Linux would be the bet, or Vista and Mac could go hand in hand.

12 months ago: Waiting for 3945 driver.

 

6 months ago: Bought a D-link USB wifi.

 

Today: Thank God for what i did 6 months ago.

 

For those who cannot wait for the driver, seriously, go get a USB wifi adapter. At least to temporarily provide you wifi access, then switch to the iwi drivers when they are done.

 

Anyways thanks for all your dedication Jalavoui, and also to the rest of the dev team. Good luck! Still hoping to see the iwi3945 working.

Cheap wifi "N" USB Adapter - can get it at Fry's It's on sale often, or find it cheap online

 

Airlink awll6070 working driver for MAC OS X FOUND. It's the same driver for the Edimax

EW-7718Un, go to the sight download the driver and it should work, it did for me. You may have to configure in System Preferences (I can't offer more help than that).

1. Download & Install

2. Reboot

3. (just after rebooting) click on Ralink icon in dock to setup

Note: I had to tinker with Network Settings in System Preferences to get it working

 

Everyone at Insanely MAC has been so helpful, thank you so much :D , and I'm glad I can give back

Hi jalavoui,

 

I followed the tutorial on

 

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...rt=#entry925693

 

to test my Intel Wifi 4965agn and posted my result on that thread.

 

The result is minimally successful, I was able to use the networkSelector program to turn on the wifi card, and scan for the available networks. But when I try to associate with one, it only says "trying to associate" then returns to the menu. No internet accessibility afterwards (pinged my router and it's 100% loss).

 

I'm a pretty proficient programmer but I haven't done any driver development before. I would be interested in helping you to develop this driver, but any suggestions on how/where to start? Such as what topics I should be familiar with before I attempt to make changes.

 

Feel free to contact me, thanks.

hi,

 

 

 

i was looking for a solution for this wireless stuff, and found a solution that might be handy, virtualization

 

 

 

check out "vmware fusion", its not a driver for 3945 and 4965 wifi cards, but it lets xp run under os x, they both work at the same time, and a good thing about that is that you can run the windows programs you like in os x, it lets hardware with out mac drivers to run under mac os (in xp actually but in os x screen, not xp) check it out for yourselves, worked for me, you can play direct x 9 games in os x too btw :)

 

 

 

but made my notebook a little slow (fujitsu siemens amilo pi 1556 with intel 1.83 dual core, 1 gb ram, 256 mb geforge go 7600)

For that to run efficiently, at least 3gb of ram is required. Mac eats up 2gb of ram within minutes. In that sense it resemble Vista, but if we assume that Leopard is not that graphics hungry, still it requires a minimum of 1Gb ram to run. Perhaps it's the redundant machine code? I wonder how people render 3D graphics on Mac and how much ram do they require!

I render 3D graphics under mac os as efficently as under xp (with the same hardware and software). And leopard uses about 600 MB of ram after running for hours. The amount of "inactive" memory increase rapidly, but as far as know this is only cached ram, usable by any process, it is there only to speed up an application that has been launched before.

 

The memory and performance issues that may occur testing those non working driver can be due to logging or a possible memory leak. 3945 and 4965 driver are work in progress, aren't they ?

I guess there's absolutely no progress on the driver whatsoever, we would certainly hear about it!

About the virtualization, AFAIK, virtual machines use hardware only that's operative in host system. You can pass USB devices directly to your virtual system, but I don't think you could pass any PCI cards that weren't recognized by computer in first place.

Have experience with working on Linux Drivers ... would be happy to review / code parts of your driver if you are interested.

 

I have i3945abg card on my lappy - let me know how i can help

I'VE GOT A WORKING BROADCOM WLAN CARD IN AN HP DV2660 LAPTOP!!!!! SO, DON'T BIOS HACK ANYMORE, CHANGE THE BROADCOM SUB ID'S AND ENJOY!!!

dude, chillax, it's not even a right thread. and we could read that smaller font, too.
