That's right. I mean, that other reboots was without KP.

 

How can I see KP log? I see something like Windows BSOD and message, that I need power off or reboot my computer.

I think it when you type -v in the Darwin bootloader.

add missing kref code

 

iwi3945 rel 1113

iwi4965 rel 1114

 

nordix,

your log is very short - need to see more lines

i think when you get a kp the driver is working

booting with -x shows kp line?

 

ITXW,

delete all grayed interfaces and reboot

it will show after the driver load in sys prefs

iwi3945 - 1111

 

No kernel panic on load, frozen on blue screen first two reboots, and started on last reboot.

 

I get "goto system preferences -> networks and press apply if you keep seeing this" but when I go to networks, apply is grayed out. What am I suppose to do?

jalavoui - it's my full log from kextinstall to kextremove, 2 or 3 reboots

 

when I boot with -x, iwi3945.kext doesn't load itself - no iwi's in logs

 

1113 gives me timeouts or freezes in -v mode (or KP in graphic mode, w/o any log)

 

I have to go, will try to find good iosleeps later today...

the kp is easier to get in iwi4965 - anyone to help?

 

iwi3945/4965

both drivers aren't stable

if you get some kp

boot with -s

and do a fsck

if it fails you'll need to reinstall mac os

 

nordix,

edit /etc/rc

and add a line to kextload iwi3945.kext in -x mode

pwd error

open terminal

cd to iwi folder

rm iwi3945.dmg

sudo xcodebuild iwi3945.xcodeproj

 

devoid,

can you add this to the howto?

Alright, I can do that. What should I name that procedure? "Compiling the drivers through the Terminal"..? (From what I can tell, it loads it also)

*note: I tried those instructions, but the build fails. "unsupported build action 'iwi3945.xcodeproj'"

Just using "sudo xcodebuild" (without a target) while in the iwi folder works fine for me :]

 

and, I'll give iwi4965 a try in a couple minutes

kp on load, boots up fine though. Posting logs in a bit, it freezes after loading the login screen, no kp message visible though.

 

One log file posted (iwi4965, latest rel as of this post time), but it has stuff from multiple reboots.

Hi, I finally got started.

 

installed build 1105 and 1113. No KP upon install and reboot. Ethernet Detected, Mac address detected.

 

Tell me what I need to do if there's something wrong, I am not 100% confident that what I am doing is what you guys need.

 

 

EDIT: I get now a black screen on reboot, hd goes silent, it not always the case tho. Anything to do in these case?

Can anyone tell me why my last couple of posts have been deleted from this thread? Just curious so I know what to avoid in the future. Should discussion about iwi2200 wait until the 3495/4965 drivers are complete?

 

Thanks, just trying to understand so I can make sure to post within the moderator's rules...

 

EDIT: Looking back on my posts that were deleted, they were notes that's didn't contain extremely relevant information, mostly were just advising the developers about when I would be able to test the next build. Let this be a lesson to all, make sure to only post relevant information to this topic or your post will be simply removed! (I actually appreciate that someone is keeping this forum organized like this - thanks!).

3945 - 1113

 

I got a kp when I added the interface in system prefs, restarted and it worked the second time. Restarted again and it froze at the blue screen. Restarted and it worked, left it running for around 40 minutes.

 

The last line in the logs from the time it froze was:

May 13 17:55:08 prometheuss-mac-pro kernel[0]: ieee80211_master_start_xmit @ /Users/prometheus/Desktop/iwi3945_new-osx10.5/compatibility.cpp:9225

 

I found what should come after that line from when I added the network adapter. The lines that followed are:

17:51:39: ieee80211_master_start_xmit @ /Users/prometheus/Desktop/iwi3945_new-osx10.5/compatibility.cpp:9225

17:51:41: iwl3945: U iwl3945_mac_hw_scan enter
and then it scans 1-11.

 

I didn't find the ieee80211_master_start_xmit line in the reboot that didn't freeze. Does anyone know how to stay in console while the gui loads so I can see if anything isn't making it into the log?

Alrighty, gave the iwi2200 for 10.5 suggestions a try:

 

1) I grabbed the iwi2200 package from the DMG of 10.4 SVN latest. I replaced the Info.Plist with the one jalavoui posted, and then attempted the install from the pkg. As soon as it was complete, I got a KP (said I needed to hold the power button down and restart the computer). A reboot gave the similar effect. So I had to boot in single user mode and uninstall. That option seems to be a no-go (unless I didn't follow instructions correctly?)

 

2) I tried Rev 803 once again. It is definitely the closest. Kext seems to correctly load, nsGUI runs correctly, I can power on, it scans and shows available networks. But I cannot connect to any network using DHCP or static. This includes both Open and WEP networks (using the XX:XX:XX:XX:...... format). As I've mentioned before, this iwi2200 for 10.5 used to work, something along the way has caused the functionality to no longer work...

 

Attached are logs I used the FAQ at http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/ to create.

Hey there,

 

Not sure if this will help at all.....

 

i just can't seem to get it to load at all

by the looks of it the kext loads but can't find the card.

and i mad sure the switch was on.

Heres some specs on the comp i'm using.

 

Acer Aspire 5600

Kalyway 10.5.2

Intel Centrino Duo 1.6

running Vanilla Kernel.

WiFi Card is Intel 3945ABG.

 

heres my log file.

 

now the last error in the log pertaining to the WiFi is

 

May 14 02:48:04 averias-macbook kernel[0]: error iwl3945: Unable to initialize PCI module

 

but up above that in the log during startup theres another error that caught my eye pertaining to PC Card

 

May 14 02:47:54 averias-macbook kernel[0]: IOPCCardBridge::start failed

 

Hope this helps.

 

Derrek.

3945 Pro, No KP upon install and reboot.

 

However, KP upon kextunload.

 

Tried again from scratch... Install/Reboot No KP.

 

Tried to run a scan - System freeze when I scan (2).

 

Tried another attempt - KERNEL PANIC.

 

 

Don't know if that kind of Screenshot is what you need; I was curious to see what kind of error the Log would get before freezing.
