I take it the common theme here is OSX10.4?
I'm trying without success to locate a USB wireless device that has native drivers which compile successfully or having compiled load without producing kernel errors 
Well within MOL the AirPort device is greyed out and unavailable for configuration, so I guess I've either missed a step or it isnt going to work with OSX10.4, yes I did patch the driver off the Install disk and place it in the correct location. When I go to connect the status is shown as no airport hardware found. I guess this means I'm going to have to re-install OSX again 
I'm desperate to get wireless working within Linux, so if anyone can offer any solutions I'm all ears??
I'm still unable to see AE from MOL, here are my AppleAirPort2 files I'm wondering if there is a difference with the files I have to others?
| Code: | powerbook ~ # md5sum AppleAirPort2.*
b6f3d2437c40277c197f0afcf12208e9 AppleAirPort2.dvd
a62e35ee9956b286c46b145d35bd6e0c AppleAirPort2.patched

Does it work with 10.3.x?
I still get the 'incompatible driver error' by the patch. I tried with the 10.3.0 and 10.3.9 airport driver.
If someone can post a link of his already patched 10.3.x driver I will be very happy 
thanks

here's what I get:

dc3a69aac95c68fe8edc760e39bbb2c9 ./AppleAirPort2-10.4.2
|
Looks like we have the same driver. I guess it explains why we've had similar problems. |

I have a powerbook 12" 1.3GHz and on it is tiger server and I cannot seem to follow these two steps. I have mol running and I am able to access the wireless from there but how do I access it from linux. When I run /etc/init.d/net.tun1 start I get an error saying that it failed.
| Quote: | 6. You should be ready to start MOL and connect to a wireless network! Test it out. If you do quit MOL, make sure that you disable the AE first, otherwise the hardware is left in an unknown state and can cause problems.
7. To use this connection from Linux, use the internet connection sharing tool in OSX to share your AE over the TUN device (probably en2). |

Please DO NOT post links to patched drivers.
qodsec:
You shouldn't start another TUN device, the tunnel should already be created when MOL starts.

I've tried several times to get this to work, I don't see the AE device in MOL. I'm not certain if it is going to work with Tiger!
JoseJX: Any ideas?...what system version are you using? On another note I notice the link to the Broadcom driver is for the 4301, this is the device I have in my PowerBook | Code: | | 0001:10:12.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03) |
Has anyone got this working with Tiger? |

ok how do I start the TUN device??
the only problem I am currently having is that when I do | Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.tun1 start |
It failed at the DHCP part. |

echo6:
I have it working fine in Panther (I don't have an AE, I've only got access to a PCMCIA card) and I know it works fine in Tiger (the instructions were written with the help of a Tiger user with an AE). The Broadcom 43xx driver is the same for every 43xx chipset that Broadcom makes, and support for every one of their chipsets is in Apple's driver. If you're not seeing the AE device in MOL, can you check to make sure you've compiled MOL with the pci USE flag and that you've got the correct PCI address in your molrc.osx?
quodsec:
Are you sure that the TUN is active? Can you maybe research a little as to why DHCP is failing? Is a DHCP server running on OSX? Have you tried manually setting the IP and routing information?

That was it...
Couple of things I would add to the guide from my experience:-
1) When you emerge MOL it does suggest that you have certain things compiled into the kernel, these should be included in the guide.
2) Bold the warning about disabling AE before quiting MOL...I think that is the issue that I and e-ipi have experienced when booting back into X and loosing AE
3) Defintely include reference to the USE variables, pci and fbcon
4) Internet sharing has to be started each occassion you use MOL. Include instruction on adding a route gateway to the OS X en2 tun interface so that Linux routes IP correctly via X, e.g. route add default gw 192.168.41.2
JoseJX...brilliant Thanks for the help  |

could you share with us the config, I assume that you have to have tunulling and forwarding built into the kernel (which I do not have). |

Simply click on the AE icon on the taskbar at the top right and select disable/turn off.

Kernel config?

Yes, take a look at the ebuild for MOL.
| Code: | | cat /usr/portage/app-emulation/mol/mol-0.9.71_pre1-r2.ebuild |
It's at the end of the ebuild, it gives details of the kernel functions and drivers required. TBH I'm not sure how I came to emerge that build version! |

|

It appears that I didn't have the "pci" use flag set when I compiled MOL. I think it's set now.
| Code: | #less /etc/portage/package.use
sys-libs/glibc userlocales
app-emulation/mol pci fbcon
|
I re-emerge'd MOL and now I'm seeing (and using) the AE in MOL. tun1 is up and running on the linux side, but on the Mac side it's telling me the only port I can share the AE from is the AE itself. Here's what ifconfig says:
| Code: | $ ifconfig
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

gif0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
stf0: flags=0<> mtu 1280
en2: flags=8822<BROADCAST,SMART,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

I opened up the Network control panel app, and once I did that it found the new port. Everything's working now. Thanks. It would still be nice to have linux driver. |

does anyone have to do an | Code: | insmod /usr/lib/mol/0.9.71/modules/tun.ko

I'm stuck. Gentoo can ping MacOSX and MacOSX can ping Gentoo, but Gentoo can't ping the Internet. It's not a DNS problem, because I can't ping IP addresses either. The MacOSX firewall is stopped and sharing Airport -> en2 is active. I've tried the "route add default ..." command, but I'm still stuck. I really don't know what else to try.
/etc/conf.d/net | Code: | | config_tun1=( "192.168.41.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" ) |
If I try to get IP via DHCP, it gives a timeout.
In MacOSX, my en2 device is configured to use DHCP. It gets IP 192.168.41.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and router 192.168.41.1.
Is there something wrong with my config? Have I missed something? |

Can your MAC ping outside your network, by IP and by domain name?
What is your router IP? What does /etc/resolv.conf contain? |

so, I'm writing this from MOL on an public hotspot...
from gentoo I can ping out (ie google.com) but nothing else goes through MOL than pure dns-lookup, no IRC, no links2, both progs found the servers, but did not connect
thunderbird seems to be patient enough to use such an unstable/laggy(/?) connection, in MOL, IRC (xchat_aqua) works fine
|
... at this moment the connection was interupted, KisMAC still showed a signal but I couldn't get the connection back 
internet connection is shared bei MOL, proxies are disabled...
hmm... firewall is enabled but does this matter?
----------
wow... I left this windows open for at least 2 days, rebootet several times (switching between gentoo and Panther) and this stuff is still here.. maybe I shoul post it ^ |

I had a similar problem and I found out that if you reorder the AE and the Ethernet connection under MacOS X, so that AE is first, then it suddenly all starts working. I went to the System Preferences > Network, set Show to "Network Port Configurations", and then dragged AirPort to the top of the list. This updated the /etc/resolv.conf file under MacOS X which, before I did this, had the Ethernet details which pointed DNS to Gentoo (kind of creating a circular loop I think). |

My MacOSX can ping outside the network, by IP and domain name, so it's not a DNS problem.
Can anyone please show me their routing tables under Gentoo and under MacOSX, while using the Airport Extreme under Linux? Here are mine:
MacOSX (192.168* is my Gentoo/MacOSX network, 10.3.* is my wireless network)
| Code: | $ netstat -nr
Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
default 10.3.7.254 UGSc 20 17 en1
10.3/21 link#5 UCS 1 0 en1

Make sure that you have added your gateway address from Linux to be that of the tun device of OSX, which on my Powerbook is 192.168.41.2 | Code: | | route add default gw 192.168.41.2 |
| Code: | powerbook linux # route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.41.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 tun1
loopback localhost.comfo 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
default 192.168.41.2 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tun1
|
Then in OSX check to make sure that you have Internet Sharing On: Sharing your Airport connection - Share your connection from AirPort - To computers using: Ethernet Adaptor (en2) |

Thanks, echo6, I've finally solved my problem, albeit not in the "normal" way. You were right about the gateway setting on Gentoo, but to create the NAT on MacOSX I couldn't simply use the "internet sharing" thing. I've asked advice to a lot of friends of mine who are MacOSX users, but noone could help me, except one, today. 
The following solution worked for me:
Under MacOSX, as root, I have to issue the following commands:
| Code: | sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
natd -dynamic -interface en1
ipfw -f flush
ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via en1
ipfw add pass all from any to any |
Thank you all for making this possible! |
