Hi All

 

Have use the rev5 with test4.

 

Now has an icon appears next to the icon of the sound.

And also in the system profiler.

 

But he still does not recognize my card wireless D-Link DWL-G650.

 

What I did different was to change the IOPC and not erase the Extensions.mkext. Only booted with flag -f

 

Thanks to all.

 

Hi,

Your cardbus adapter successfully recognized. You need to put PCI id for your pcmcia wireless card in AirPortAtheros's Info.plist file.

It seem your card PCI id is "pci168c,13" - from the log file.

 

You need to add your PCI id in this file:-

/System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortAtheros.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

Add like this:-

<string>pci168c,13</string>

 

Good luck. :)

I used the Rev5 IOPCCarFamily amd the test3 and it WORKS!!! Thank you so much my AT-T 881 is now working with Leopard which was the only thing I couldn't get working on my Gateway MX6956 I cant say thank you enough this is trully amazing! I know have a fully working Laptop with earthernet, sound, Wireless Card, the only thing is the damn intel 3495 and that will never be solved I am afraid lol...

 

Did you try with test4?

 

If so, what errors did you get? Seeing as if you tried it and went to test3 it can't have worked..

Hello Kizman ... Thank you for your help.

 

Now the wireless card is recognized.

But at the airport it appears OFF.

And it is impossible to be ON.

 

Below follows a picture of how it is.

 

Thanks man.

snam11,

I've attached a development (debug) and deployment (release) version of the kext for you.

Try the devel one first - if it works, move to the release one.

These are based on the rev5 source, with our id's edited in.

 

Chun-Nan,

I've also attached the updated o2micro.h that has the ids for myself and snam11.

 

Cheers, EqUaTe

Was this after rebooting?

It seems to be behaving like an ethernet port - IF it is indeed recognised.

Could you paste the output of: ifconfig -a

 

Cheers,

Thanks man.

 

Hi,

en0 should be your ethernet card right? So your new airport should be en1 right? If it is yes, try remove AirPort from the list. There is "+" & "-" at the bottom left of your Network preference window.

1) Click AirPort and click "-" button to remove it. Click Apply button.

2) After that click "+" button to add it back. Click Apply button

 

Try to turn it on again. This has happen to me before, that is why I suggest this. If it is still cannot turn on, reboot with your cardbus wireless card inserted in the slot.

Yes.. en0 is ethernet port and en1 is wireless.

 

But.. I tried it, but without success.

 

Thanks man.. very very thanks

... and if it fail, try to enable it in windows/linux ther reboot into OSX. My Bluetooth and WiFi (both on board) works that way. They have to be activated in other system then I can use them under OSX.

 

I know this is not onboard device but it's worth to try ;)

Ok. Try change en1 to en2. Edit this file:-

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist

Just change at two places (mark as bold):-

<dict>

<key>Active</key>

<true/>

<key>BSD Name</key>

<string>en1</string>

<key>IOBuiltin</key>

<true/>

<key>IOInterfaceType</key>

<integer>6</integer>

<key>IOInterfaceUnit</key>

<integer>1</integer>

<key>IOMACAddress</key>

<data>

ABpwcQ2Q

</data>

<key>IOPathMatch</key>

<string>IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/PCIB@1E/IOPCI2PCIBridge/pci104c,8039@9/IOPCCardBridge/pci14e4,4318@0/AirPort_Brcm43xx/AirPor

t_Brcm43xxInterface</string>

<key>SCNetworkInterfaceType</key>

<string>IEEE80211</string>

</dict>

 

change to :-

 

<dict>

<key>Active</key>

<true/>

<key>BSD Name</key>

<string>en2</string>

<key>IOBuiltin</key>

<true/>

<key>IOInterfaceType</key>

<integer>6</integer>

<key>IOInterfaceUnit</key>

<integer>2</integer>

<key>IOMACAddress</key>

<data>

ABpwcQ2Q

</data>

<key>IOPathMatch</key>

<string>IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/PCIB@1E/IOPCI2PCIBridge/pci104c,8039@9/IOPCCardBridge/pci14e4,4318@0/AirPort_Brcm43xx/AirPor

t_Brcm43xxInterface</string>

<key>SCNetworkInterfaceType</key>

<string>IEEE80211</string>

</dict>

 

and reboot.

 

Try & try & try again. It should work. ;)

Did you try with test4?

 

If so, what errors did you get? Seeing as if you tried it and went to test3 it can't have worked..

 

EqUaTe

 

I used the IOPCCardFamily.kext V5 and edited the info.plist to my I/O and Memory ranges and used the Test3 IOPCIfamily.kext and it started right up then downloaded the Mac Serai wireless tool and now have a fully working AT-T 881 broadband 3G card working perfectly. My laptop also has a card reader that does not work however but I am happy enough with the AT-T card working to forget about that for now. Now that it works I don't see the need to change it.

It is an 3G Quad, Fusion or Globetrotter, UMTS Card...

 

...you have an idea?

 

 

I'd need to know exactly what kind.. And the make.

As I said, I have a huawei 3g umts usb card.

I know a reasonable amount about getting the huawei's to work as a result.

The card reader is handled elsewhere (we think).

 

You shouldn't need to edit the info.plist at all - can you try Test4 IOPCIFamily with the STOCK IOPCCardFamily rev5 Info.plist?

 

Thanks

hi equate,

i've tested your versions, both works but still kernel panic sometimes (picture attacched).

as you can see in the deployment dump, my o2micro is detected and is working, but i still get an error.

i've used a firewire 800 pcmcia card (ti compatible chipset).

equate, which o2micro controller do you have? mine is 1217:7134do you have also smartcard reader on same pcmcia controller?chun-nan:my pcmcia and express slot worked fine with ver3 of kext with card readers/wifi/firewire but i get often kernel panic using the slot, and i cannot solve internal firewire memory error problem (pcmcia bus is linked or shared with firewire somehow).darwin boot also gives me 1 slot enabled and 1 with "!IOPCCardBridge::checkBridgeBusIDs invalid sub/cardbus/pci settings of 0x0" or "bad bridge mapping at 0xd0401000 (the memory location change sometimes)do you think the error is linked to the smartcard reader? (my pcmcia has 1 pcmcia slot, 1 express slot, 1 smartcard reader).i was thinking maybe memory error of firewire can be solved fixing the pcmcia slot.can you also add my device into iopccardfamily so i don't have to hex edit every time i need to test it or mod something into?ripped from dmesg of a boot with a pcmcia firewire800 plugged in:Firewire OHCI: start - unable to get device memoryFirewire OHCI: start - unable to get device memoryIOPCCard info: Intel PCIC probe: IOPCCard notice: Bad bridge mapping at 0xd0401000!not found.IOPCCardBridge::start failedIOPCCard info: Intel PCIC probe: O2Micro OZ711M1 rev 21IOPCCard info: cs: cb_alloc(bus 11): vendor 0x104c, device 0x8025IOCardBusDevice: binding socket 0 function 0 to card services.IOPCCard info: cs: cb_config(bus 11)IOPCCard info: fn 0 bar 1: mem 0xdc004000-0xdc0047ffIOPCCard info: fn 0 bar 2: mem 0xdc000000-0xdc003fffIOPCCard info: irq 20FireWire (OHCI) TI ID 8025 CardBus now active, GUID 000108000000fbf8; max speed s800.
Hi snam11,The eorror message is new to me. Please try rev6 and let me know the result.Chun-Nan

great work chun-nan!!!

your new set of kext detect whole o2micro pcmcia bus and devices...

the ochi firewire error is gone (so as i thought the pcmcia bus is linked with firewire and card reader), but i still have some firewire issues.

i still can't capture or use any firewire device (if i use the o2micro integrated firewire port, the pcmcia slot with firewire device works fine)

 

i've attacched the dump.

 

as you can see i have this strange error:

ERROR: FireWire unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to full-secure.

If you're meaning about the security mode, ignore it.

 

It's irrelevant, afaik.

 

 

As for the panic - I plan to look into that.

 

 

In the meantime, update to rev6 - it should support your chipset.

Best to all be on the same platform :rolleyes:

It is OPTION Globetrotter 3G QUAD. What do you need? I don't have anything for this card except drivers for win lol

hi chun-nan,

i did several test with my firewire devices (integrated and pcmcia slot)

seems the system hangs somehow, is slowest than before, but the activity monitor doesn't show up any problems.

the integrated firewire (o2micro) works, but it has strange behaviours. if i plug any firewire/dv hdd, it can browse any folder, but is so slow that it's impossible to copy any files, alto small ones.

if i connect a dv camera i can only remote it if a tape is inserted. No video at all.

 

i've noticed also same problems on the pcmcia slot.

it works fine but slowest than before. i did same test with my pcmcia firewire 400/800.

dvcam works fine and can remote/capture files.

if i plug firewire 800 hdd the device delay is really too much. i can't play video files without frame drops, the disk seems too slow (but it isn't for sure, is a brand new 1 tera firewire 800 disk with raid0).

 

p.s. the pcmcia with earliest version of iopccardfamily seems faster/powerull

 

btw, you did a wonderfoul job, no more kernel panic, and most important thing, you've enabled whole o2micro devices.i guess this is only a tweaking problem

Hm. Do you have a linux install? Or a LiveCD? (NOT gparted)

It might be better if we take this to PM for now - feel free to pm me in response to this.

 

Hi guys,

 

I also updated rev1 of IOPCIFamily and IOPCCardFamily.

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=81048

 

Welcome to try it if you have Tiger installed and let me know the result. Thanks.

Chun-Nan

 

Great news ;) I shall be trying this out on a work-colleagues laptop that runs tiger now (thanks to me). It has a TI or Ricoh chipset - I forget which. It wasn't supported by the Tiger kext OOTB though - hopefully it will be by yours!

I'd say I'd try it tomorrow, but I don't expect to be at work.. So probably on Monday.

Do you see any debug messages with these kexts? If you see any, then this is probably the cause of the slowdowns..

 

In fact - debug messages from ANY kext can cause slowdowns.

 

I'm glad the panics are gone - this is a great sign :)

 

 

 

Chun-Nan,

 

Further to the above - I'll be moving to rev6 shortly - been busy using the connection tonight, so haven't had the chance :P

But again, thanks for all your hard work! It's great to have people like you in the community :D

 

Cheers,

EqUaTe
