pere Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 It´s fake..... show captures of that or booting logs from the driver. (It is on debug mode so will be easy for you to find on system.log) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84072-intel-wireless-2100-2200bg-2915bg-3945abg-4965agn/page/125/#findComment-1013558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puntoboy Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 That would be awesome! I am sure EVERYBODY would be thankful! Have a merry christmas! I know I would be very greatful as it's the only thing stopping me using my OSX install at home. I'm having to leave my Windows HDD in my laptop so I can use the wireless!

I'm happy to wait for the drivers, but I'm really looking forward to using OSX when I'm at home.

ant13 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 i was just wondering if the card could be detected, could we install drivers in a virtual machine and use the windows drivers. (just for now) Just an idea.

Jovu Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hi everyone, I have the 3945abg, also I am a skilled developer. Haven't read all thread (+140 pages). But I'll try to finish the driver after holidays, if it doesn't take me too much time (because I'm working full time as software engineer and studing). But challeges as this one to code at low level always have a magic to attract my attention. Well, have a mery xmas!! Good luck!

crazy_sumo Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 make the 4965AGN first !!! lol Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84072-intel-wireless-2100-2200bg-2915bg-3945abg-4965agn/page/125/#findComment-1017827 Share on other sites More sharing options...
booger_sniffer5000 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 make the 4965AGN first !!! lol Actually I looked at the code (I can't code, but I was bored) and it seems like the only difference between the 3945 and 4965 drivers are 2 files (1 header file and 1 c file). The two files are only to enable the use of wireless N. Basically, either you could use the 3945 driver with the 4965 card or it would just be a matter of a quick port of the files.

macgirl Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 No, the card has to be detected in the host OS (OS X) for it to work in the virtual OS (Windows). Only USB devices can be passed to the virtual machines so no PCI/PCI-E devices, one user told me wild long ago that PCMCIA could be passed also, but I didn't see any proof of that. And by the way, the Intel cards are detected by Mac OS, the problem is that it has no drivers, you can check how is detected wih IORegistry or with DPCI Manager. Is the same thing with the Ralink RT61 cards, they are making only PPC drivers for it, the card is detected by Mac OS but without proper driver it wont work.

tivimac Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 It's very strange... can someone, tell me the advantage of using pci-e devices for NETWORKING over USB... because I think that this was an unfortunate decision toward virtualization.... Per example... in my Inspiron 1525 I use a broadcom chip for wireless, a novatel chip for broadband, and a broadcom chip for bluetooth. On VMWare Fusion I can use my mobile broadband and bluetooth directly, without problems; because the mini-cards are handled by the USB bus. Also on real macs the external connectivity is handled by USB bus.. like keyboard/mouse/tracking pad... I think that is was a good choice for their part. Only USB devices can be passed to the virtual machines so no PCI/PCI-E devices, one user told me wild long ago that PCMCIA could be passed also, but I didn't see any proof of that. And by the way, the Intel cards are detected by Mac OS, the problem is that it has no drivers, you can check how is detected wih IORegistry or with DPCI Manager.
