3945 not working, MAC address is ffffffffffff, awkward dmesg. #42

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Dont know, i believe it is an issue with my system.  I have a hp dv8339us
laptop.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would hope for it to find networks and have the correct MAC address. 
instead neither happens.

I am using iwi3945 on OSX 10.4.8 Semthax kernel 8.8.1
HP dv8339us, any questions about hardware, email me at
tprins228@gmail.com  thanx

this can be a hardware bug.
might be fixed by checking the iopcidevice class

Forgive me, I'm not much of a coder, but I do have a 3945 card and don't want 
to have
to go  buy another one for my OSX86 system.

If the mac address is set to ffffffffffff is there a way to manually change the 
mac
address to a mac address recognized by another OS (windows or linux)?  

I have a hp dv 9000t, btw.

yes, but it still will have no effect on whether the card will work in OSX.  I 
had
someone write a unique driver for me for it to do that.  It showed up as the 
correct
MAC, but if you were to look into the dmesg or the system.txt, it still showed 
up as
a the fffff...

there's a way to fix this - get xcode and svn source and
add this lines to getHardwareAddress() function

//eg: my card macc address is 00:0E:35:E0:3D:B3 (replace with yours)
fEnetAddr.bytes[0]=0x00;
fEnetAddr.bytes[1]=0x0e;
fEnetAddr.bytes[2]=0x35;
fEnetAddr.bytes[3]=0xe0;
fEnetAddr.bytes[4]=0x3d;
fEnetAddr.bytes[5]=0xb3;
if (priv) memcpy(priv->eeprom.mac_address, fEnetAddr.bytes, ETH_ALEN);
if (priv) memcpy(fEnetAddr.bytes, priv->eeprom.mac_address, ETH_ALEN);

this will make the card show up. i'll need to find out a better solution using 
iokit
features but this will do for now.

Would this work with the current 3945abg drivers you got up?
I'm sure you get that asked a lot, but what exactly is the status of the 3945abg
drivers? Is someone working on them? Are you looking for somebody to help out?
Thanks, and let us know if you need help.
