GREAT! The modified kexts works. I double checked the MAC address to make sure
it was my wireless and not built-in ethernet port. don't suppose theirs a
solution to activate the card for internet?

I have SL 10.6.2 , 10.6.3 and higher don't work because i have a nViDIA Geforce
GT130M.It's only compatible from the 10.5.5 to 10.6.2.I'm also have a USB
Wireless of D-Link.The USB Wireless is only detected as ethernet port but i can
connect to a network because there's a Wireless Utility.Like the network
selector.So someone has just to write a iwi4965 based network selector. Please
help us !!!!!!!!!

do you mean it won't activate on 10.6.3 because i'm using 10.6.3 and the kexts
installed and detected my wireless 5100 fine...

How do we find the correct code that is described in Step.4??

for me i just booted up my distro/installation dvd and opened "Hardware Info".
It displays the device code as xxxx:yyyy which you convert to 0xyyyyxxxx
replacing XandY with the actual code.

Just use windows or OSX86 Tools to find out your wireless cards ven and dev
numbers... the ven number is Intels number, which should be 8086, the dev will
be
different, for instance, the 5100 is 4232, you might be 4233, etc.
You'd have to modify the kext included in the .zip file and change 0x42328086
to
0x????8086 replace ?'s with your numbers. install package included in zip but
then
delete the iwi4965 out of your extensions folder. then install the kext YOU
MODIFIED
into your extensions directory.

I just installed the kexts in 10.6.4, but the 5100 card didn't recognized in
the PreferencePane. However, I can find it in the AbouttheMac. How can I make
it work? With the network selector? Thanks!

I don't know if this will be work but you can try it.
-1 Go back to the Network Preferences in the PreferencePane
-2 Click the + under the network list and look for a Ethernet (en2)*.
-3 Now you can add the Device on your Pane!
*Maybee is yours not the en2 maybee its the en1 however your card is in your PC
placed.

Yeah, now I can see the 5100 in my preferencepane which as an ethernet port.
However, it displays as "Cable Unplugged". The networkselector soft did'nt
recognize the port and scanned nothing. How should I make it work? Thanks!

OK, My fault! I read you post again and I found the problem at last. There has
been no working networkselector yet. Let's wait.
Original comment by ouchyo...@gmail.com
on 2 Aug 2010 at 8:27
there is look that iwl4965 radio was turned off by default in boot up proccess.
and the network selector can't powering up the device.
if there are a way to change default to switch on maybe network selector can
control it.
one thing just look into system preferences there is no 5100 device that ported
to any PCI bus, so logically the device couldn't be controll.
Original comment by anrmach...@gmail.com
on 2 Aug 2010 at 9:13
anrmachine,
I don't Think so that the radio is the problem.i can turn it when i want and it
don't find anything!if you thing that would be the problem than you can modify
the iwi4965 and the iwifi Kext.Here is my indostruction:
-1 Open the info.plist of the both kexts
-2 You should have put your IOPCIMatch number.Then You have to change the
number of p_disable to 0, p_led to 1, p_mac to your id
like:{00:1e:65:68:3a:98}.The id you can find it on the Intel 5100 WIFI
Card.p_mode has also be changed to 1.
-3 Now Save the both info.plist and install it with Kext Helper b7. Finish !
ON The iwifi.kext you have to copy your modified lines with TextEdit:
<key>p_disable</key>
<integer>0</integer>
<key>p_led</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>p_mac</key>
<string>00:1e:65:68:3a:98</string>
<key>p_mode</key>
<integer>1</integer>
under the:
<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>IOPCIDevice</string>
Atention!The ID on the p_mac is only an example.
Atention!The Industroktion is not tested yet maybee it won't be able to detect
the device.

The driver aren't stable ! It only detect the card , but not the information

stable one would work.

There ways around problems this problem, for instances 1. use a USB compatible
to your version that you are using. 2. continue with using windows os since the
5100 works so well. 3. buy a real mac, remember using the hackintosh is like a
demo. I personally am using the IATKOS v7 10.6.3 now 10.6.4 since the update.
My notebook has the same INTEL card that most of you are waiting for a driver
for(5100), but get by with using the Belkin F5D7050 USB which works well. A
rule of thumb beta can cause many a problems as some of you have found out due
to miss configured systems just ready for that line of code to rewrite and
cause kernel panic attacks or crashes. End result having to reinstall maybe
just as well for unstable systems. My notebook is a HP Elitebook 6930p runs
nicely other than the INTEL card and the sound card. I used the voodoo
selection when I installed IATKOS v7 10.6.3, what happens is the card has a
high pitched sound so I have to go the preferences and correct it. Turns out
that the mic is turned all the way up and you get a high squeaky noise, I just
changed the settings and kinda works OK now. This is my experience with using
IATKOS v7 You have to read all the info about these versions and how to apply
them to your hardware in order to have a stable OS. It takes time to build test
and recompile for a stable suitable driver like the 5100 to work for all of us.
Patience's to all...

First off- you should work on your English before you post any comments.
Secondly, trying to figure out ways to challenge the whole issue and come up
with a working 5100 Mac OS driver despite all obstacles is the only objective.
It is about challenge and determination. We all can buy USB adapters or a real
macs - like myself, but even though, I chose to encourage what other people are
trying hard to make.

Posting comments is a free way of expressing ideals, feelings about the topic.
Using the First off the bit you started out with is inappropriate to make on
anyone' Of course they are working on it from scratch without getting the
scripts, codes etc from OEM manufactures that won't give a hand. Remember
people all over the world post here and there English maybe a little off show
some respect.

I think the only respect should come from you towards those working hard on
getting that driver for mac instead of trying to call off the whole
project..you really show a good example of respect that way!!

Wow I see you didn't read the threads thoroughly , I never mentioned anything
about calling off any project? I understand what these programmers are going
through and just wanted people to know what they are going through. They are
doing their best to put out a beta and with the information from the beta will
help in getting a stable driver, it just takes time.

HI! I installed latest svn trunk what linked on main page, because i have intel
4965agn card, but that crashed my kernel (both 9.7.0 voodoo and 9.8.0 voodoo).
Next i tried iwl4965.kext from old folder of svn, it seems partially work,
because i see a network device in SystemPreferences, but the networkSelector is
not working, because doesn't list any network. pls. help me. I currently cannot
attach crash screenshot, but i will do it if it needed. I have an MSI
EX600X-415HU notebook.

iwi4965.kext is core of the driver. like the other ones is utility for wireless

maybe with modding of 3 kexts merge iwi4965 will make the device work as
airport.
