[jalavoui]

how do you expect i make the drivers work if there's nobody to run a few tests?

 

download iwi3945.dmg and start reporting...

 

don't bother to post logs with errors

[TurdWise]

pablo101 you are the idiot here: first you post that you compiled and it doesn´t work, then you berate the developer of what is labelled everywhere as an *unfinished driver* (for the hard of thinking that means "It Doesn´t Work Yet") for asking for logs to help him continue? Read (e.g. this ) before spouting rancid bile next time.

This on a 4965agn. My network is unsecure and open. "Airport" is listed in Network, set to auto DHCP. No IP etc. I apologies for my previous rant.

[pablo101]

And just to add. I checked the Info.plist of the kext and i found you had disable turned on. I changed the value to 0 and way more stuff happened on the next restart, like finding networks in system log and trying to associate...... Why did you disable it?

i'll try to make this as clear as possible

 

iwi3945 is the only driver i'm working at this time

i don't need other logs from other drivers

i need people to test latest version from here http://iwidarwin.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/...0.5/iwi3945.dmg

run a few tests until you get a log without firmware errors/timeouts

and attach the full system.log

anything else is just a waste of good development time

[bond6]

Any ideas how to improve card/driver initialization so that we dont have to reboot so much?

Possible hacks or something?

Hi, Jalavoui ! i was looking at your code for both 2200 abg and 3945 abg..

 

 

1) is 2200 based on ieee80211 ? and i believe you were able to break the microcode in different parts

 

2) cant the 2200 be ported to 3945 by changing the ucode, all the references and iopcimatch checks ?

3) By the way, do we really need country code's for setting eeeprom.?

 

If thats the case we can simply do that or start to port 3945 (solaris/linux) to mac.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for helping the community and enlighting us.. 

[eBrY]

To the developer of this driver-

 

Wouldn't it help if you can acquire this wireless card, and if you did, the progress would be much faster.. Its been so long, we can really use a functional driver. It doesn't make sense that you're developing this driver without the hardware to test it on constantly. I'm just saying.. your effort is hugely appreciated, thank you.

Firstly thanks for all your work so far! The card seems to be functional and network selector shows available networks, however, it does not allow me to connect to my unsecured network.(or any for that matter) It shows up as airport in Network preferences and gives a self assigned IP.

Hi there,

 

I have installed the 3945ABG driver from this thread and now I have a new Ethernet interface in Network but for some reason, its being shown as an Ethernet card rather than an AirPort device and sometimes it will either display 'Cable is unplugged' or it will be set to 'Self-Assigned IP' with a green light. I am aware that these drivers are in development, but I'm just a bit surprised as to why it's not being detected as a wireless interface at the very least. Keep up the good work though, we all appreciate it!

 

Liv

[Poco]

@Spursboy Liv

 

Why is my card detected as an ethernet adapter instead of an Airport card?

This is normal and to be expected. We wrote the driver this way because the IO80211Family is closed source and not well documented. There is more information available for "wired" adapters in Mac OS. The basic networking functions of your card will be handled by the OS, while wireless features are controlled with our NetworkSelector and nsGui utilities. Both utilities are currently under development and therefore are not expected to be fully operational.

 

As said on the FAQ of the iwidarwin Google Code site.

before posting logs check if you get this lines - if you don't reboot a few times until get this line

i'll try to fix in the svn tree and post a new release for testing

and...

don't use networkselector - if the driver loads ok it will try to associate to the first open network it finds

anyone as a fix for this?

[Nick14]

I got to ask Sorry but Network selector Gui crashes sometimes at Boot or even when i'm trying to type in the Wep key any reson for that ?

[ostaryus1]

Hi i am using the 4965agn. I have compiled the latest svn and network selector. I installed the kext perfectly fine, no kernel panics. Appears to load up in console etc. Using network selector it finds my open network, i tell it to associate but nothing happens? No ip address is got (if how or where it says it is??), the adapter doesnt show up in system prefs/network ? And nothing loads in safari.....console is saying loads of stuff with rx_Beacons etc......

 

Any for me or anything i can help by doing? thanks

 

I have exactly the same problem. After installing iwi4965 a new ethernet card is listed in network. It says that the model is 4965 agn so it is wireless card but it seems to be ethernet card. May be I did something wrong. I use netwrok selector but it only lists the wireless netwroks and cannot connect even unsecure ones. I guess a little point is missing in this driver.

[edlemur]

My 3945 is almost working. It shows up as ethernet 2. And when I run the network selector, it detects my network. Unfortunately, when I type the number for my network, it then says its attempting to associate but then goes back to the main screen without actually connecting. To clear things up, my network has no encryption or security.

 

I'd love to help the iwifi cause. How do I uninstall the iwifi driver so that I can try a clean install and post a log here?

[sp00ge]

iwi3945 on Leopard 10.5.7

 

After a few reboots it finally finds and tries to associate with my unsecured access point,

but fails.

 

Thanks for you hard work and I hope my logs help you.

Hi. I want to provide a system log to help with the development of the 3945 driver. But I need to know how to uninstall it first. Do I simply delete the kext?

[adityaxavier]

hi jalavoui,

 

Please find the attached logs of your latest release.. one update.. it dint detect a new interface but a weird thing happened.. it was trying to you my onboard ethernet adapter instead of adding a new ethernet adapter.. ataching the system logs and the screenshot for you reference..

 

I can test the same very quickly and on a day to day basis.. let me know if you need any help at all.. Thanks for the support..

Hi there,

 

I am a complete n00b to this, but somehow managed to loadkext the driver and log what happens.

I see the same thing in network-window as the guy in the previous post.

In the log I saw some interaction with airport (check the log), however nothing visible in airport.

Otherwise network selector seems to be sort of disabled - whatever.

 

Hth..
