DISQUS

magare · 4 months ago

Would be better to donate rather than use words like "ASAP", "NOW", "PLEASE NOW", "I NEED IT", ETC ...
If you are in such hurry - DIY.

Great work Mercurysquad !!! Keep it up.
I think that is one of the best third party driver stuff of the whole Hackintosh community.

Cheers!!!

I NEED MY 3945 DRIVER ASAP RIGHT NOW , PLEASE NOW

magare · 4 months ago

That WILL help a lot, especially to AH like yourself !!!

To all the people who commented about 4965: CHILL OUT AND WAIT, THE 3945 DRIVER IS BEING DONE FIRST.
To all the people who commented "fix my wifi card now": SHUT THE FUCK UP AND WHINE TO INTEL INSTEAD OF US.
To mercurysquad: ignore these losers, you're doing an awesome job, and almost everyone knows it :) please keep it up :)

Proximity · 4 months ago

I totally agree. I am checking this blog many times a day, joyfully awaiting to read about the progress mercurysquad has achieved, just to read someone whining over his card being not coded first or coded to slow. There is no ETA for the driver - so stop asking.

mercurysquad you are doing a great job. There's no need for an uncompleted quick coded driver.

Greetings from Europe
Proximity
- chilling since Feb. for 4965 driver

mercurysquad · 4 months ago

lastowl · 4 months ago

Nick14 · 4 months ago

That's sad. I was really looking forward to this - iwi started causing kernel panics with the voodoo 9.7.0 kernel from iAtkos...

Vertimyst™ · 4 months ago

Awesome, I hope you can reach your goal. A working driver would be great.

Keep up the good work ;)

PChang · 4 months ago

This is simply phenomenal. Good luck the rest of the way through!

apocolipse · 4 months ago

Looks great! My friend has an inspiron 1525 with the 3945 chipset and is anxious to get OS X working nicely :) hopefully this will do the trick for his setup. I would have liked to test it unforunately i dont have access to his notebook all the time :P but good work!

spadge47 · 4 months ago

Francis · 4 months ago

Waiting for 4965 to donate, I will take note of all your previous work when donating.

foo · 4 months ago

Awesome, keep it up :)

xtian_sk9 · 4 months ago

mercurysquad · 4 months ago

If you are on a deadline, it's best to contact Intel...

kimaca · 4 months ago

Hello mercurysquad
many Users need and 5100 agn driver.. Can you also build it.
We will donate for you...

mercurysquad · 4 months ago

As I've said, all Intel cards will be tackled, but one at a time.

fifthwheel · 4 months ago

I would aslo like to see the intel 5100 agn!
mercurysquad you are the Man!! I will donate when 3945 is done and again when 5100 is done you can count on it. Your hard work and dedication is so appreicted!

Torren · 4 months ago

Congratulations on your good progress. The generic interface should really help out wifi driver development on OSX.

lawlist · 4 months ago

Just a note to say thank you for all your hard work. I am certain there are numerous people like me who check your website every day like an addiction, even though we may not always leave comments. I went into the wrong profession -- I would have had more fun working with computers like yourself.

Barakeh · 4 months ago

Great Job man, keep it up!

japr99 · 4 months ago

thanks for work on 3945 abg drivers

Daniel · 4 months ago

Whoa, only 10% of the Linux driver! Great job man!

P.S.: this somehow sounds sarcastic, it's not meant to :)

xtian_sk9 · 4 months ago

When are you gonna release the 3945abg driver? I wish that: you release that driver very very very very soooooooooooooooon!!! :) ^_^

foo · 4 months ago

See my earlier comment. Don't ask when it will be done, just keep checking the site. You'll find out when it's released along with the rest of us, at the same time.

Instead of asking when it will be done, say instead: "Great job, mercurysquad!" or "Thanks for your hard work, keep it up!" or "We all appreciate the work you're doing for the osx86 community!"

Or just donate.

xtian_sk9 · 4 months ago

life is boring without wireless internet.
Youre doing great, Mecurysquad!

fshy00 · 4 months ago

Splendid work, mercurysquad. Keep it up, and we're all looking forward to your next update.

creeco · 4 months ago

"I am certain there are numerous people like me who check your website every day like an addiction, even though we may not always leave comments." That would be me, for instance :)

Tripkip · 4 months ago

Yes hoping to read some update info :-D

kisgyopi · 4 months ago

Thanks for the answers!

lastowl · 4 months ago

xtian_sk9 · 4 months ago

GREAT JOB!!!!, Mercury Squad!!!!. I wish you all the best. Keep it up+.

Shane · 4 months ago

Absolutely phenomenal job on all of your work. I am glad that some one took that initiative to build the drivers that have so long plagued the hackintosh. If you need any help at all, I am more than willing to do some testing with the 3945 for you. I am also considering applyig my own development skills and business resources towards further hackintosh driver development after I wrap up a couple other projects. Have an HP Pavilion DV6000 running winXP SP3/OSX 10.5.6.

James · 4 months ago

I will also be glad to beta test 3945 and its great that you are working on it :)

Eagerly awaiting for the driver so that i can finally switch to mac on bootcamp (planning to get a real mac but first i would like to have a preview and work a bit on mac osx, but i really need the internet :P )

Thank you for doing this for us :)

Will be checking your blog ^^

Cheers! :)

Michael · 4 months ago

Hi, Mercurysquad....Great Job. Even though I exchanged by now all the wireless cards in all the laptops I have into atheros and broadcom (osx compatible) (because I got the other cards for nothing, a bunch of dead laptops of clients who were throwing away the entire machine) I am looking at this project with awe and appreciation. I see how devoted you are and I hope you succeed soon in porting the 3945. Are you planning to go on to the 4965 first or to finish WPA first? You may have written this somewhere...sorry if I overread it.

Keep up your great work, we appreciate it.

xtian_sk9 · 4 months ago

He is going to finish the 3945 first. Great Job Mercury squad.

Michael · 4 months ago

I meant after he finishes the 3945 duh! I only wanted to know the priority list.

tito · 4 months ago

We really thank you for that work! Good that I could use my ipw3945 on OS X, the BCM4311 I'm usign now isn't so powerful as the intel ones

bencarson · 4 months ago

Just like to say I and im sure a load of other people are extremely grateful for all the work your puting into this project, and as its been said by other people, dont push him, with stuff like "ASAP" want it as soon as possible? code it yourself, Mercurysquads trying his best, all that could be asked for, great work:)

Cyclonefr · 4 months ago

Just too bad we dont get thé 2200 which is already final. But im waiting cheers.

Pal D · 4 months ago

Red_Acid · 4 months ago

"I am certain there are numerous people like me who check your website every day like an addiction, even though we may not always leave comments."
And that makes many of us! xD


Mercurysquad, thanks for all your efforts in make a functional driver for Intel cards. I'm using a 4965 and waiting for a driver since my first hackintosh (January 2008), so more 2 or 3 months doesn't make all that difference to me. And I'll definitely going to donate as soon as the driver is working. ;)

Francis · 4 months ago

GOGOGOGOGO we need this driver loooooooooool

roal2488 · 4 months ago

Mercury any news buddy?

Cheers!

mercurysquad · 4 months ago

Actually I'm out of town again and working furiously to finish my other project whose deadline is tonight. Will resume working on project:camphor from tomorrow.

roal2488 · 4 months ago

Oh I see.

Good luck!

xtian_sk9 · 4 months ago

Thank You mercury squad! by the way are you having a hard time for the 3945 driver? read what subby said:

Lleu · 4 months ago

As he said previously, he has a pool of testers that he's currently using and everyone else who offered to help is on his contact list. He'll email the people on the list if a tester falls through, and if everyone bails he can make a new post asking for more. Also, even if someone sends a card, he may have to pay a tariff on it.

Also, please keep in mind that he said on the 8th that he was heading toward a working driver this month. That means that he will probably have the driver sending data in the last week of August, followed by another week or so to make adjustments before the actual release. I'm using the long end of the time frame, but good software takes time, and doesn't often come in ahead of schedule.

Congrats on the progress, mercurysquad! As you can see, lots of people are still following, although we don't comment all the time.

xtian_sk9 · 4 months ago

yeah any update?

Subby · 4 months ago

Hay mercurysquad :)

i have a laptop here with the 3945 wifi in it again, let me know if you need any extra help testing!!

i also have a 3945 card in my broken laptop that i can send to you if you need it?

good luck ith your other jobs!!

nibbleart · 4 months ago

Francis · 4 months ago

drmikecrawford · 4 months ago

Just checking in to see what the status is on the 3945 build and were you are at in the project? And if you need anything please contact me.


Keep up the great work!!!

Jesper · 4 months ago
