Hello.

 

I devellop the driver with Xcode . and I debug it with address given in the KP and IDA pro over crossover.

For instance:

 

KP on 0x21fa23de

Driver load on 0x21f97000

 

To find the bad instruction open the binarie in the "Content" directory of the kext with IDA and jump to:

0x21fa23de - 0x21f97000 - 0x1000(size of the kernel) = 0xa3de

 

Bye

 

I just reboot one time and it took me several minutes (15-20) to get the kernel panic and remove the kext from the system... I have a problem wth my nvidia driver... Plus I have no camera so I have to copy the kernel panic... and I am not sure what part is important...

And then I don't have IDA and crossover....

So I don't think I can help :s

 

The part of the kp panic I copied if it can help :

 

Cpu 1 caller 0x001A8BED

Kernel Trap 0x535657e5

Backtrace Format - Frame

0x5b343d98

This part was key for me to get the card recognized ... thanks to this guy. Right now I am struggling with the nsGUI. In mode 1 (infrastructure mode), when I key in the WEP key, it just turns off the card. In Mode 2 (Ad Hoc mode) It says it is trying to aquire an IP address but just hangs there. In Mode 3 (can't remember what it is defined as), it doesn't work at all for me.

 

I think I read some where in this thread that there is a format for the WEP. I am using 128 bit WEP. Should I key in XX:XX:XX format?

 

Thanks to the developer. Be sure that you will receive some donation from me as soon as I get this one figured out.

 

 

EDIT: After rebooting, I get Kernel panics everytime I try to turn it on. I will try to provide logs.

 

I just wanted to say that I have gotten IWI2200 working on Kalyway 10.5.1. :P Steps:
  1. Install using installer from Google code site
  2. Reboot.
  3. If you get an error when you reboot saying "iwi2200.kext was improperly installed and could not be loaded" or something like that, it might be a permissions problem;Go the terminal and enter the following commands:
     
    cd /System/Library/Extensions
sudo chown -R root:wheel iwi2200.kext


     
    This should allow the module to be loaded. You can test it by entering
     

    sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/iwi2200.kext


     
    If it doesn't load, look at the output, and figure it out I guess.

  4. Start nsGUI and go to the icon right near the clock (little blue wavy things) and click Set Power On from the menu.
  5. Wait a couple of seconds, and then go to the nsGUI menu and select your network from the list.
  6. Try to visit a web page! For me, I had go into System Preferences>Network and create an Ethernet adapter and set it to DHCP before it started working.

That's the basic idea. If you can't figure it out, try applying more brainpower to the problem. If you still can't figure it out, you can PM or something I guess.

Yeah. I can't wait for the iwi3945ABG driver is working.. Without wireless is pretty terrible. I'm trying to find a USB wireless dongle to use but I can't find anywhere where anyone says there's one that works with 10.5.2.. If anyone here knows of one I can use for now until this driver is done being developed, let me know!

Hi

 

I am not sure if these log files are of any help, but I followed the instructions on how to get the logs.

 

First time I installed everything seemed fine. Now I get consistent kernel panics whenever I try to use nsGUI to turn on the wireless. I have a bg2200 and used the latest version for Leopard. I am running 10.5.1 version. The error log.rar file has the dmesg.txt, ioreg.txt and system.txt.

 

Thanks!

I have bought a DLINK DWL-G122 (bundled with the MacOS X Driver for 10.4) .. I have installed it on a iATKos 10.5.1 and it works perfectly.It would work with 10.5.2 .

 

Now i will be able to work correctly on the 3945 driver :)

well, i don't know if any of you driver creators will find it interesting, but when i installed 4965 driver for my 3945 in xp, it worked with full performance recognized as 4965.

 

I'm pretty sure they know, because they say that when they develop a working 3945, modifying it to work with the 4965 should be a piece of cake.

 

Here's another post to thank you all for your efforts!

Yay!!!! I managed to get it to work. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled the driver.

 

One issue I had even when I got nsGUI to run was that it would not connect to my wireless router. It kept saying trying to get IP address. The trick there was stated earlier in that you need to add an ethernet adapter. I ignored this at first since I have an adapter already but you need to add another one. I don't see any difference between this second adapter and the first really but it worked!

 

The only issue I have now is getting the settings to stick. I always have to run nsGUI from the applications menu and manually switch on the card and connect and add the WEP key everytime. Does any one know of how to get the settings to be saved?

 

I am writing this with the wireless stuff all working woohoo!!

 

Thanks!

Hey,

 

(supral) Are you talking about the 3945 abg card? if right how did you make it working?

 

Otherwise, do you know if the driver's development is over? because on the iwi google website there are no news about it...

 

I also have a nvidia 7400 go... I still don't have a working driver? Can you help me?? Because i cannot use osx without a graphic car and wifi...

 

My laptop is vaio vgn c2z / b

 

thx !

if you take a look just a few previous messages up, you'll see he is talking about 2200 , not 3945.

and if you search in the form you can easily find where graphics/display card drivers for nvidia are talking.

sorry but this is thread for as you see : "Intel Wireless driver, Intel PRO/Wireless 2100/2915/2200/3945/4965 Driver for Mac OS X86"

don't be lazy!!

how can I use WEP for iwi2200? it gives me a BUS error..

 

For me, at least, I get the BUS error with the command line

tool /Applications/networkSelector but the GUI app

/Applications/nsGUI.app/Contents/MacOS/nsGUI

works.

 

When you start the GUI app it appears to do nothing, but you

will get a new wireless icon on the top menu bar on the right

hand side. Click on it, open main window & set power on.

Select your network & enter your WEP key in the format

xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

 

e.g. for WEP key 1a2b3c4d5f enter:

 

1a:2b:3c:4e:5f

 

Hope that helps,

Tony

Hello,

I would like to thank the person who made this driver for Mac OSX.

My Intel 2200BG works perfectly :thumbsup_anim:.

But there is one thing thats been bothering me.

Is there a way to have a network to connect automaticly, because it's kind of hard to enter my WEP password everytime to connect.

 

Thanks

is there any way to build the 4965 driver and testing it?

can i take the iwidarwin sourcecode and combine it with the iwlwifi-4965 linux source?

i have the hardwarde for testing.

the problem is, that no one of the iwidarwin devs has the posibility to test it, but you know how to build it.

can you do a quick tutorial, or give some directions? or is it a lot of work or a lot of knowlegde required for combining iwidarwin with iwlwifi-4965?

i would like to help
