OpenBSD includes such a framework. AFAIK, other BSDs as well.

[Wirelessdriver-devel] Changing MAC address in Tiger - A partial solution

[Java N. <jav...@ho...>]

I dug into the CVS code for beta 6 of the Source Forge Wireless Driver and 
added extra IOLog statements and experimental code to explore the difficulty 
in changing the Mac Address in Tiger.

I had success revising the driver to use a hardcoded address and identified 
the issues that prevent the feature from working in the CVS code.

Perhaps, after seeing my partial solution below, someone can offer me some 
advice on how to proceed to complete a fix, or take my information and run 
with it.

The issues are as follows:

1) org_noncontiguous_WirelessDriver::init(OSDictionary * properties) is 
seldom called in Tiger, so the code that is included in the CVS version to 
setup the custom Mac seldomly executes.  I do not know the rules of when it 
should execute, but the Kernal seems to call it rarely, and not even 
consistently on every startup or card insertion.

2) When init() is called, the following expression returns a null pointer:

   OSString *str = OSDynamicCast(OSString, 
properties->getObject(kIOMACAddress));

This prevents the Wireless Driver from reading the MAC address that is 
stored in info.plist by the WirelessMac application.

Being unfamiliar with specifics of OS X programming and Unix device driver 
programming, I do not know how to iterate through the OSDictionary to see 
what is in it, but would like to use IOLog statements to see what is going 
on.

3) If I hard code a MAC in both init() and 
org_noncontiguous_WirelessDriver::_wi_readChipInfos(), the MAC *will* take 
effect. See code snippets below for how I did this.

In Tiger, _wi_readChipInfos() is called after init(), if init() is called at 
all.  So any custom MAC set in init() (if the OSDynamicCast returned a 
value) would get overwritten with the hardware address in 
_wi_readChipInfos(), if the custom MAC is not set in that method.

4) I do not know how to access the info.plist or the user's 
org.noncontiguous.WirelessDriver.plist (in user's preferences) from 
_wi_readChipInfos().

5) I do not know how to add a field on the preference pane and get the value 
down to the Wireless Driver.

What version of XCode should be used to build the preference pane?  I have 
only rebuilt the WirelessDriver.kext in Tiger without errors (after deleting 
a non-existent file from the project).  I am curious, which version(s) of 
XCode were last used to build the kext and the other parts in the CVS?

6) If I change the Wireless Driver and want to replace my 
WirelessDriver.kext with a new build after having installed KisMac, is there 
anything I need to do to it other then placing the following empty file 
inside the kext to enable it to work with Kismac?

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    0 Jun 12 21:01 bipatch

In otherwords, what exactly does Kismac do to the Wireless Driver as it 
installs its patch, that I would need to replicate if I replace the Wireless 
Driver after installing Kismac?



In conclusion, all that remains to repair the feature to set the MAC is to 
find a way to pass a user's desired MAC address string down to 
_wi_readChipInfos() methods and then to call _setMyAddress() from there. It 
probably does not need to be in init().




How to Hard Code a MAC address in the Wireless Driver for Tiger:

In PCCardTemplate.h, add:

    void            _setMyAddress(OSString *str);

In PCCardTemplate.cpp, in method 
org_noncontiguous_WirelessDriver::init(OSDictionary * properties), replace 
the following:

    OSString *str = OSDynamicCast(OSString, 
properties->getObject(kIOMACAddress));
    if (str) {
        memset(myAddress.bytes,0,kIOEthernetAddressSize);
        if ((str->getLength()<=17)&&(str->getLength()>=11)) {
            int cur = 0;
            int val;
            char c;
            for (unsigned int i = 0; i < str->getLength(); i++) {
                c = str->getChar(i);
                if ( c != ':' ) {
                    if (( c >= '0' ) && ( c <= '9')) val = c - 0x30;
                    else if (( c >= 'A' ) && ( c <= 'F')) val = c - 0x37;
                    else if (( c >= 'a' ) && ( c <= 'f')) val = c - 0x57;
                    else val = 0;
                    myAddress.bytes[cur]=((myAddress.bytes[cur] << 4) + val) 
& 0xFF;
                } else if ((++cur)==6) break;
            }
            IOLog("%s: init(): custom MAC address detected. set MAC to 
%.2X:%.2X:%.2X:%.2X:%.2X:%.2X\n", getName(), myAddress.bytes[0], 
myAddress.bytes[1], myAddress.bytes[2], myAddress.bytes[3], 
myAddress.bytes[4], myAddress.bytes[5]);
        } else {
            IOLog("%s: init(): invalid MAC address.\n", getName());
            memset(myAddress.bytes,0,kIOEthernetAddressSize);
        }
    } else {
        memset(myAddress.bytes,0,kIOEthernetAddressSize);
    }

with this:

	memset(myAddress.bytes,0,kIOEthernetAddressSize);
	str = OSString::withCString("00:11:22:33:44:55");
    _setMyAddress(str);

In Wireless_Private.cpp, add the following method:

void org_noncontiguous_WirelessDriver::_setMyAddress(OSString *str)
{
    IOLog("org_noncontiguous_WirelessDriver::_setMyAddress entry");
    if (str) {
		IOLog("org_noncontiguous_WirelessDriver::_setMyAddress - Custom MAC String 
found");
        if ((str->getLength()<=17)&&(str->getLength()>=11)) {
            int cur = 0;
            int val;
            char c;
            for (unsigned int i = 0; i < str->getLength(); i++) {
                c = str->getChar(i);
                if ( c != ':' ) {
                    if (( c >= '0' ) && ( c <= '9')) val = c - 0x30;
                    else if (( c >= 'A' ) && ( c <= 'F')) val = c - 0x37;
                    else if (( c >= 'a' ) && ( c <= 'f')) val = c - 0x57;
                    else val = 0;
                    myAddress.bytes[cur]=((myAddress.bytes[cur] << 4) + val) 
& 0xFF;
                } else if ((++cur)==6) break;
            }
            IOLog("%s::_setMyAddress: custom MAC address detected. set MAC = 
%.2X:%.2X:%.2X:%.2X:%.2X:%.2X\n", getName(), myAddress.bytes[0], 
myAddress.bytes[1], myAddress.bytes[2], myAddress.bytes[3], 
myAddress.bytes[4], myAddress.bytes[5]);
        } else {
            IOLog("%s::_setMyAddress: invalid MAC address.\n", getName());
        }
    }
}

In Wireless_Private.cpp, 
org_noncontiguous_WirelessDriver::_wi_readChipInfos() method, add the 
following line:

    _setMyAddress(OSString::withCString("00:11:22:33:44:55"));

immediately after

    memcpy(&myAddress, mac.wi_mac_addr, ETHER_ADDR_LEN);

To whom it may concern;

As you may well be aware, Mac OSX is being ported to the x86 architecture. In response to this, 
developers and users at the site: http://osx86project.org are developing a method to install OSX on 
machines. However, the included software does not include wireless drivers.

In response to demand, we are searching for wireless drivers, and have stumbled upon your valuable 
project. However, we believe that the core of your project is coded in codewarrior. If that is so, would you 
be able to port the project to XCode (information on this process is available on the site: 

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/MovingProjectsToXcode/index.html

Would you then be able to attempt to compile this source for x86?

If that is unsuccessful, would you please be able to either forward the sourcecode to, or post at 

http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=1462

about you success?

Thankyou,

[Wirelessdriver-devel] Guide to Prism 2/2.5 cards with KisMac and Wireless Driver

[Java N. <jav...@ho...>]

I am posting my first draft here in the forums for peer review before 
posting on the KisMac wiki. I am crossposting with two groups for the 
SourceForge driver as well. If you have anything to add or correct, please 
let me know. Text inside of brackets [] is not really part of the Guide, but 
a solicitation for more information.

Introduction:

A high output, high senstitivity 802.11b card with external antenna jacks is 
an excellent choice for scanning for networks with tools such as KisMac as 
well as connecting to networks. There are several such cards using versions 
of the PRISM chip set. This guide summarizes the installation procedures and 
functionality that you are likely to achieve with various versions of OS X.

I prefer the PRISM 2 chipset over the newer PRISM GT chipset for 802.11g 
cards, because there are no high output high senstivity PRISM GT 802.11g 
cards with a external antenna connector that I could find. [If you are aware 
of such a PRISM GT card, please let me know.]

Note: I did not test WEP because support varies within PRISM cards. You may 
be limited to connecting to open networks. These procedures were tested on 
an open network.

I hope to see further development/debugging of the SourceForge Wireless 
Driver to fix the flakiness, and make WEP and Mac address configuration work 
more consistently.

Jaguar (10.2.8)

Functionality achieved: You should find that you are able to connect to 
networks with your card, scan with Kismac, and change Mac Addresses with 
WirelessMac. Be sure to reboot after you scan before connecting to a network 
because Kismac is flakey about unloading the driver. Also I would recommend 
a reboot after changing the Mac address before connecting to a network with 
a custom Mac address and maybe another reboot after configuring the Network 
control panel to use what the operating system perceives as a "new" adapter.

1) Install version 1.0.0 b5 of the SourceForge Wireless Driver according to 
the instructions.
2) Insert your wireless card and determine the IOName of your card using the 
command

/usr/sbin/ioreg -l | grep pccard

3) In the terminal issue the su command to become the root user and then cd 
into /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext/Contents.

4) Edit the info.plist file (with pico) and look for the following section.

                <key>everything else</key>
                <dict>
                        <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
                        <string>org.noncontiguous.WirelessDriver</string>
                        <key>IOClass</key>
                        <string>org_noncontiguous_WirelessDriver</string>
                        <key>IONameMatch</key>
                        <array>
                                <string>pccard156,2</string>
                                <string>pccard1eb,807</string>
                                <string>pccard274,1613</string>
                                <string>pccard274,1612</string>
                                <string>pccard138,2</string>

If your card is not already present, follow the pattern to add it at the 
bottom of the list.

5) Save the file and SHUT DOWN YOUR COMPUTER FOR A COLD BOOT. You can leave 
the card inserted through the remainder of these steps. (The Wireless driver 
is a little flakey and may not recognize the card right away, even with a 
warm boot, so a cold boot should get it working with your card.)

6) Restart your computer, and verify the card is recognized by issuing the 
following command in Terminal

ifconfig

You should see a new ethernet adaptor listed, such as en2 or en3. If you are 
not in the vicinity of an open wireless network, move your computer to one 
to test that you connect. You should then be able to setup the network name 
to connect to and the Network settings in the system Preferences. If you 
can't connect, do an extra restart after setting up your settings, or change 
the location to something else and back (its a little flakey).

7) Install KisMac KisMAC012a per the instructions and choose to install the 
Wireless Driver Patch.

[Group, what is the latest version of KisMac that can run in Jaguar? I 
guessed this is the latest one for Jaguar, but correct me if I am wrong.]

When finished using your wireless card, shutdown before removing it, as the 
OS is not too keen on removal of the card and you may have system crashes. 
Power Off card in the menu bar does not work - it just comes right back, so 
shut down to remove the card.

Panther (10.3.9)

I tried version 1.0.0 b5 of the SourceForge Wireless Driver and it is 
completely nonfunctional in 10.3.9. I think Apple did something in this last 
release of Panther to break it and I saw such speculation in the forums.

Panther (10.3.3)

Functionality achieved: Mac OS X Panther is really not a good operating 
system for Prism 2 based wireless cards and KisMac. My recommendation if you 
want to use KisMac with theSourceForge driver and a high sensitivity card is 
to go back to Jaguar, or forward to Tiger.

Follow steps 1 - 6 above for general use of your Wireless Card. KisMac 0.12a 
kernal panicked when I tried to scan months ago and I heard similar results 
from at least one other person in posts. I don't know about other versions 
(not having time to reformat my Panther drive to take it back level to 
10.3.3 after trying 10.3.9 in order to try R62).

Tiger (10.4.2)

Functionality achieved: You should be able to connect to Wireless networks 
and use KisMac. WirelessMac sets the Mac address inside of info.plist but 
the Wireless driver will not pick it up and will not use it, apparently not 
even with the modrak patch.
1) Install version Beta 6 of the SourceForge Wireless Driver according to 
the instructions.
2) Insert your wireless card and determine the IOName of your card using the 
command

/usr/sbin/ioreg -l | grep pccard

3) In the terminal issue the su command to become the root user and then cd 
into /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext/Contents.

4) Edit the info.plist file and look for the following section.

                <key>everything else</key>
                <dict>
                        <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
                        <string>org.noncontiguous.WirelessDriver</string>
                        <key>IOClass</key>
                        <string>org_noncontiguous_WirelessDriver</string>
                        <key>IOMACAddress</key>
                        <string>00:11:22:33:44:55</string>
                        <key>IONameMatch</key>
                        <array>
                                <string>pccard156,2</string>
                                <string>pccard1eb,807</string>
                                <string>pccard274,1613</string>
                                <string>pccard274,1612</string>
                                <string>pccard138,2</string>

If your card is not already present, follow the pattern to add it at the 
bottom of the list.

5) Save the file and SHUT DOWN YOUR COMPUTER FOR A COLD BOOT. You can leave 
the card inserted through the remainder of these steps. (The Wireless driver 
is a little flakey and may not recognize the card right away, even with a 
warm boot, so a cold boot should get it working with your card.)

6) Restart your computer, and verify the card is recognized by issuing the 
folling command in Terminal

ifconfig

You should see a new ethernet adaptor listed, such as en2 or en3. If you are 
not in the vicinity of an open wireless network, move your computer to one 
to test that you connect. You should then be able to setup the network name 
to connect to and the Network settings in the system Preferences. If you 
can't connect, do an extra restart after setting up your settings, or change 
the location to something else and back (its a little flakey).

7) Install KisMac R63 or later per the instructions and choose to install 
the Wireless Driver Patch. I used KisMac R67, the latest one with a prebuilt 
installer.

8) Install modrak patch to wireless driver to enable operation with KisMac. 
(This was also advertised as allowing changing of Mac address of the PRISM 
based card.) The next few steps come from

http://www.netstumbler.org/archive/index.php/t-15852.html
and
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1219280&group_id=34453&atid=411312

9) Download http://3web.dkm.cz/modrak/WirelessDriver.kext.zip

[Note: The source for the modrak patch has not been posted or shared to my 
knowlege. I am hoping that someone comes forward with it so it can be merged 
into the CVS along with the susumu fix of July. I did not install the Susumu 
fix, as I chose the modrak patch instead.]

10) Unpack the kext to /System/Library/Extensions/ -- you'll need to 
authenticate..
11) In Terminal, execute the following commands
su
(enter root password)
chown -R root /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext
chgrp -R wheel /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext

Also, you will need to reinsert your card's IOName in the info.plist file if 
you had to do it above.  Do so at this time.

12) PERFORM A COLD BOOT.

[Wirelessdriver-devel] Wireless Driver with KisMac and Tiger; 2 latest Tiger Fixes

[Java N. <jav...@ho...>]

A person going by the name of  "modrak" has posted a fix for the Wireless 
Driver to allow use with Kismac in Tiger, along with instructions at

http://www.netstumbler.org/archive/index.php/t-15852.html
and
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1219280&group_id=34453&atid=411312

These web pages contain a link to a binary 
(http://3web.dkm.cz/modrak/WirelessDriver.kext.zip) and he/she offered to 
share source code. I tried to email to request this version of the source 
code, but could only guess at the email address and my message failed, so I 
post publicly hoping he/she is on the forums.

Antoine, you might want to note for your "little guide to MAC address 
customization" that this "modrak" version indicates it allows the Mac 
Address to be set in Tiger. (I didn't test it yet because I just got Tiger 
and am having an issue with the official Beta 6 (which I decided to try 
first) not recognizing my card even though it did in Jaguar.)

Narita Susumu also posted a bug fix at 
http://homepage.mac.com/mindtools/WirelessCard.zip to correct "[ 933643 ] 
Kernel Pnic after Kick Out"

I hope both the modrak and susumu fixes can be brought together into the 
main code in cvs.

[Wirelessdriver-devel] RE: [kismac] little guide to MAC address customization

[Java N. <jav...@ho...>]

Thanks for posting this guide. I would like to share its existence with the 
readers of the Source Forge driver support and development lists. The 
complete guide is posted at

http://kismac.binaervarianz.de/wiki/wiki.php/KisMAC/FAQTechnicalMacCustomization

I also have some suggestions for making the guide more complete. By sharing 
this, the readers of either the Kismac list or the source forge lists can 
make contributions of information.

Here are come comments and questions for all to review, with exerpts of the 
guide quoted for context....


>AIRPORT EXTREME
>Tested on Panther and Tiger, but might work on all X OSes.....

Hopefully someone could test and indicate whether this works in Jaguar 
(10.2.8).

>PRISM 2 & ORINOCO CARDS
...
>- Panther: WirelessMac does not work in Panther. Patch the kernel following
>the instruction posted here ....

Please include link to the referenced instructions for Panther.

>- Tiger: method not supported. the patch for the sf driver is not yet

>to Tiger.

Has anyone began to look at what it would take to port the patch? Would the 
programming changes to patch it be similar or totally different?

>PRISMGT CARDS
...>Note: PrismGT based cards are increasingly difficult to find as vendors 
are
>silently replacing the chipset in these cards without anyway of knowing. 
>Try
>your card before you buy it.

A list of vendors known or believed likely to be shipping Prism GT cards 
would be helpful. If anyone got a PRISM GT Card please speak up on what kind 
and where obtained.

>USB PRISM2 DEVICES
>On all Mac OSes, flash the firmware following this set of instructions and
>the Windows exe firmware patcher from
>http://www.frars.org.uk/cgi-bin/render.pl?pageid=1109.
>Note: Do this at own risk!

Is there a Mac based flasher, or do we really have to flash it in Windows? 
Does it hurt the card if one does it repeatedly?

>OTHER CHIPSETS

What are the leading chipsets used in wireless cards available for purchase 
today? Which are increasing in popularity and which are declining?

[Wirelessdriver-devel] Bug fixed "[ 933643 ] Kernel Pnic after Kick Out"

I was changed.

(1) disable interrupt
When Eject did a card, Driver is disable interruption.

org_noncontiguous_WirelessDriver::message(UInt32 type, IOService *  
provider, void * argument)
{
  .
  .
  .
             // disable interrupt
         if (interruptSource)
                 interruptSource->disable();
  .
  .
  .
}


(2) Check cardStillPresent
the driver confirms whether a card is stuck.

UInt32 org_noncontiguous_WirelessDriver::outputPacket(mbuf_t pkt,  
void * param)
{
  .
  .
  .
         // Check cardStillPresent
     if (!cardStillPresent)
         return kIOReturnOutputDropped;
  .
  .
  .
}

I am sorry. I can't write English well.

Hi,

Try the commands:

cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/wirelessdriver login
 
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/wirelessdriver 
co -P modulename

These came from the sourceforge CVS page under the WirelessDriver site.

Hope this helps,

Rob

[Wirelessdriver-devel] Getting the source from CVS

[Java N. <jav...@ho...>]

These commands from the FAQ no longer seem to work - my connection to the 
CVS times out during the login after I hit return to put a blank password:

cvs 
-d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/wirelessdriver 
login
cvs -z3 
-d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/wirelessdriver 
co WirelessDriver

The output I get for the first command is:

(Logging in to ano...@cv...)
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: connect to cvs.wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net:2401 
failed: Operation timed out

How do I checkout the latest source these days?

Thanks.

Thanks for your continued work on this project! I look forward to 
downloading the latest code?

One question - Will either the Mac Address patch posted on source forge, or 
the Wireless MAC application with KisMac be useable in Tiger? Or does Tiger 
now support a full ifconfig command to change the MAC address?

Are there any improvements such as WEP support, or is this release only a 
tiger compatibility fix?

Re: [Wirelessdriver-devel] We need access to the CVS and web page to distribute Tiger changes....

[yuriwho <yu...@ma...>]

Glad to hear someone is still willing to hack the code. Rob McKeever  
has disappeared and I only lurk and approve messages for the lists,  
as I am not a coder. I can add one you as an admin of the sourceforge  
project to allow you to change anything on the project. To add a  
developer, the developer must already have registered and confirmed  
their user account (they should have a visible http://sourceforge.net/ 
users/USERNAME/ page). E-mail me with the necessary account name info  
and I will give you admin power. I you recommend testing the driver  
by getting beta testers from the support mailing list before  
releasing a package on the main site and versiontracker etc.

Can anyone help?  Mick Rossberg have a version that works with Tiger

I'm working on iStumbler (http://istumbler.net/), and passive sniffing 
is actually low on the priority list right now. But having a driver 
that allowed passive sniffing on a live connection would be a huge 
improvement over the current Mac wireless sniffing arrangement.

Would be nice wouldn't it? I can't help you except to cheer you on ;)

You might also have a look at the sources for KisMac, especially his 
macjack driver:

Hope that helps.

[Wirelessdriver-devel] hello list

[Folkert S. <fo...@fe...>]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1


hello list,

i have been able to checkout the sources for WirelessDriver2.kext.
i was even able to compile the targets, and, after a few dirty
modifications, it gave me an en2 interface when inserting my XI-300
prism2 pccard.


now, i am aware that there is much to be done with the src in order
to use a prism2 card to connect to a wlan, and even more to set one up.
however, my goals are a lot lower than that: i only need to be able to
set the card in monitor mode and use ethereal to read the raw 802.11b
frames, NAV  and all. like hostap-driver does under linux/i386.

however, setting any diagnostic mode results in an error. sendCommand
complains and tells me an error status of 0x7F00. i have not read the
intersil manual fully yet, so i am not sure what that means.

so my questions would be:
a] does anyone actually read this list and is interested in having
    an opensource prism2 driver for darwin?
b] has anyone done anything more with the source which isnt in the
    repository?
c] is it actually possible and as easy as i think to set the pccard
    into monitor mode and just pass the 802.11b frames on to raw
    socket interface which ethereal uses? so that i can read the raw
    frames from the air? any thoughts?


thnx/ cheers,
/folkert saathoff

[Wirelessdriver-devel] filtering

[fotoman <fo...@he...>]

Ok this may not be appro?
But I love kismac, and it's filtering ability, But I don't have or want 
to fork out $20.00 for I0xperts driver to run my Pcmcia wifi card.
I am running a PB G4 800mhz with a senao 2511 cdexplus card.
The problem I am having is that using the I0xperts driver or Sorgeforce 
driver it keeps wanting to jump to another ssid other than the one I 
specify. Is there any kind of script, or terminal command line I can 
enter to block (filter) certain Bssids from even being considered? 
Basically the same thing Kismac does when running.
Thanks for the help.
TIA

I've been working on the code in order to re-worke it into a Wireless 
framework for use in OpenDarwin. I have it running on Panther and 
OpenDarwin. This is WirelessDriver/WirelessCard/ . I'll provide an 
installer within the next weeks, right now my main focus is to get the 
driver into better shape and provide a decent cli tool. I'm still 
getting my head around a lot of the code, but it looks promising. Since 
this sourceforge project seemed rather dead, I thought about taking the 
code and rework it to nicely integrate with OpenDarwin (while still be 
as usefull on OS X).

[Wirelessdriver-devel] Building in Panther/Latest Code?

[Java N. <jav...@ho...>]

Has anyone built the driver under Panther with xCode? What are the specific 
steps?

Where is the latest source code at. No code seems to have made it into CVS 
for about 2 years.

I understand there was some recent code with new features such as improved 
WEP support. I was emailed a copy of development source code at the end of 
last year, but wonder if any further development has taking place or how 
stable the code is. (I have not used it.)

Thanks in advance.
