Unzip the archive

 

move the iwi2200.kext to /System/Library/Extension

 

chown -R root:wheel iwi2200.kext

chmod -R 755 iwi2200.kext

 

move nsGUI.app & networkselector to /Application

 

chown / chmod in same mode of iwi2200.kext

 

reboot

 

f8 / -v at darwin loader

Cool iwi2200 is working. I'm online right now with it.

Even my WEP encrypted connection was no big deal.

 

I running Kalyway's Leopard 10.5.1 EFI

 

Unfortunately the old bug remains, that slows down the connection in low singal strengh areas.

Thank you very much OldSchool!!!

Just here to plug in my two cents. Instead of you guys taking apart the linux driver, and trying to get that working, I will be looking at the windows driver. I don't think I will find anything, but I am still going to check it out.I also have copies of the Windows XP Intel 3495 Wireless driver, if you want that too.

 

I also have the XP driver if you need it.

Even if you had the source code of the driver (i assume you just have the binary), the linux architecture is closer to OS X's architecture , therefore a port of the driver is just a matter of time (a BSD driver is even more close since OSX derives from FreeBSD). Plus the source code of the driver is freely available.

after you commit a .dmg to the svn tree please post here the rel number

eg:

 

http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/

 

iwi2200-osx10.5 rel 596

version from TNW

 

the .dmg files include the installer and should work without problems

this code is for testing. when we have a stable version we'll put it in iwidarwin

 

TNW, maybe you like to fix the iwi3945 svn link in iwidarwin (iwi3945-osx10.5 or iwi3945_new-osx10.5 ??)

 

i forgot to talk about the project script inside each iwi project - but i gues you already find out that :)

to rebuild the .dmg just delete the old one

Hi guys thanks for the great work! I have a problem with the latest iwi2200 whenever I try to chown I get the following meesage:

$ chown -R root:wheel iwi2200.kext

 

chown: iwi2200.kext/Contents/Info.plist: Operation not permitted

chown: iwi2200.kext/Contents/MacOS/iwi2200: Operation not permitted

chown: iwi2200.kext/Contents: Operation not permitted

chown: iwi2200.kext: Operation not permitted

 

 

any ideas?

I'm happy to see that you're having success with the 2200 drivers, but they don't work for me. :D I installed everything correctly but:1. My wireless card (internal - Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo 1541G) is recognized partially: my network is detected, I can select it but I don't get an IP address. Opening the nsGUI window the status just loops between scanning and getting an IP address.2. In Preferences->Network there is no trace of the wireless card at all. However I get my ethernet card listed twice.3. In the system.log file I found some references to "...network ignored because of storming..." or something to that effect.Has anyone else had similar problems as these as of yet? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

You need to be root to do that. Try this: $ sudo chown -R root:wheel iwi2200.kext and give your password when asked.

Thanks, I just needed to set-up a password for the account. Now I got it installed....connected to my wireless...can`t get on the internet yet... :)

So I know that iwi2200-osx10.5 is this in testing but I would like to know if it has sames features than the tiger version (very good with wep support). Maybe I will decide to switch back to Leopard....... thks developpers and good luck with iwi3945 port.

I have this issue also.

My solusion:

change mode from DHCP to manual at second ethernet card (which is your WIFI card) and enter all data (IP, MASK etc)

This works for me. No looping :)

Deep... deep.... ddeeeeeeppp inside me a little kitten is anxiously awaiting the release of iwi3945 for Leo. With each day, there is less and less of him. You don't want the cute kitten to kick the bucket do you? The only way for him to stay alive is to see iwi3945....

 

Please...

 

for the kitty's sake...

Excellent guys! I'm going to go ahead and upgrade to Leo in the next couple of days and will start posting logs for you guys. The developers are asking but I notice not many people are doing this. Let's post our logs and help them best we can everyone, it's the most helpful thing we can do from our end (other than cheering them on).

I don't think requesting the drivers be completed faster, or making useless posts about "kernel panic, not working" without providing any details, will make our awesome developers work any harder. It's taking up threadspace and getting generally annoying.

 

Please try being constructive when posting, or don't post at all.

I thought maybe the second ethernet card was the wireless, however, when I went into the advanced settings and took a look at the MAC address it was the same as the first ethernet listed (my wired card)! Even in the System Profiler, there is no trace of my wireless card. The only way that I can that it's actually being detected is in the shell with the ifconfig command. So I can't configure it manually through the preferences. I can do it with the ifconfig command (which I already tried) and just trying a ping would get me out of memory errors or something like that. I'm attaching the output from my system.log file regarding the iwi2200 -- maybe that can help someone understand what's happening.

Try something like this:

System Preferences->Network

Click Add (+ button). on interface list should be 2x Ethernet (or 3x if you have 2xLAN & 1xIntel WIFI)

you have to add correct one (after adding click advanced->ethernet to check ethernet MAC)

If you find your WIFI card change to manual and fill text boxes with your ip, mask gate and dns.

 

I hope this will work for you.

Guys, I have problem with the networkSelector. Sorry if I couldn't find it in other threads... When I try to run that application I still receiving message "Could not get ID for kernel control. 2" and its stopped. What I'm doing wrong? I made chmod, chown etc but no changes. I found that iwi2200.kext isn't loaded automaticly, but even if I make it manualy - nothing happening. Help please!

Unfortunately I already tried that and although it does list two Ethernet, both of them have the same MAC address so there is definitely something wrong!

 

OK, I tried again and this time I finally found the right Ethernet adapter and setting up as you suggested worked. There's still something that's not right though because although the MAC address was correct the WINS name had the address from the other card. But thanks for the help and keep up the good work guys.
