Intel (R) PRO/Wireless 2200B/2915 - OSx86 Project Forum: "Hi everyone,

as you may know I've been working on the iwi2200 drivers.. many of you may think this is bullshit since until now nothing has been released or reported working. But here is proof smile.gif and the first release of a somewhat functional driver which is based on the freebsd iwi driver (the fbsd equivilant to the linux ipw)

Here to fill you in on the current project status of what i have managed to do:

- firmware is loaded
- ucode is loaded
- card is initialized
- basic (but faulty) Rx/Tx Queues are setup
- first attempts to scan for available accesspoints have invoked a recieve interrupt
- however no AP association is functional as yet

The current problem I am having is implementing Ieee80211 specific routines as there is no open Ieee80211 framework provided by darwin. Another major problem is the lack of time due to the upcoming semester and the exams that come along with it.

How you can help:

- You can't! Unless you are familiar with programming or Ieee80211.. please dont email me offering your 'testing' support. I apprechiate it but I have more than enough of those. thanks wink.gif

Where to download it:

http://sf.net/projects/iwi2200 and go to 'Files'
or directly to:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...group_id=147845

If you feel fit to help just drop me a private message here (i dont feel like disclosing my email to a public forum)




Here are the requirements to get it working:
- XCode 2.x (available from Apple free of charge if you signup on http://developer.apple.com/)
- The ipw firmware which cannot be freely distributed with the project... for this reason you will have to download it at: http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php
- Some minimal knowledge of how to use a unix terminal



Lets get it compiled:
first step is to download the firmware at http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php (i used version 2.4) and copy the ipw"
