[osol-discuss] Nice treat for the SVOSUG
FYI, for folks in Silicon Valley, we have a special treat for you at the next meeting on October 25th. We're gonna have Scott Nelson from Real Network to do a short presie/talk on Solaris/OpenSolaris and Real, Helix, and RealPlayer. This has been a widely discussed topic in the Solaris x86 community for quite some time, and most people will be glad to know that there's finally more than a prayer to get RealPlayer for Solaris x86. I haven't posted an announcement yet, but Michael Lim will be giving the main presention on IP Filters. This should be another great SVOSUG meeting, and we'll be in the upstairs room at the Santa Clara Auditorium again. -- Alan DuBoff - Sun Microsystems Solaris x86 Engineering ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

I see no problem. The Law forbids to give away the Copyright and the Sun text contains a salvatoric clause: "to the extent allowable under locallaws".

Hello, Sorry for the wide distribution. I am trying to find out who might be willing and able to do a small porting job of the qemu accelerator (kqemu) from Linux to Solaris 10. The author of kqemu (see the attached forward) says that the code is only about 400 lines long. I am no judge as to whether this would be easy or not. However, it would be a huge help to me and my team if someone could get kqemu working on Solaris 10 so that we can do some x86 testing on sparc systems via qemu virtual machines? For more info on qemu and the qemu accelerator (kqemu), please see the main qemu site: http://www.qemu.org/ Please let me know if you are interested!

Re: [osol-discuss] Laptop WIFI
It's the old vendor lock-in trick. I'm more experienced with Dells, and as far as I can tell, there is no such restriction on Dell laptops. The only problem I have seen is on the Latitude C600 (aka Inspiron 4000) which was Dell's first mini-pci model, they don't include the antenna wires, you get them with the card if you order it from Dell. The C610/4100 included the wires, so you can put whatever card you want in there. Also, worth noting is most desktop based wireless cards are actually a mini-pci card mounted in a slot with a shield over it. When Dell's site was lacking on variety, I suggested to people on the forum to go and buy a linksys card and disassemble it to remove the mini-pci card. Many did and it worked fine. One caveat is when they solder the antenna wires rather than use the plugs. Since desktop pcs only use one antenna, you'll have only one jack to plug into on the card if the other was soldered. If there is a way to alter the antenna diversity settings on such a card, I'd only enable the side that is actually plugged in. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

I purchased the card, removed the old Broadcom card, loaded the SUNWatheros package and it just worked. I've heard that some laptops won't work, and I've seen this internal at Sun also. Many laptops will allow that, but some have a proprietary mini-pci slot, such as the IBM Thinkpads I'm told. I believe that someone has replaced one of the Broadcom mini-pci cards in the Acer Ferrari 3400 with success. The link for this company store on ebay is http://stores.ebay.com/Prime-Electronic-Components . Thanks for posting that link, maybe that will help someone else out. Just be warned that some laptops have problems accepting a different mini-PCI. I have more to add. I sent an e-mail to the seller of the atheros cards and what he has to say is promising. Please note, I have not tested what is listed below, but I have no reason not to believe him. Again, use your own discretion. "We don't have a list of laptops that it works with, but I can tell you this. Out of over 2000 we have sold I have only had to take back 5 of them because they wouldn't work and then it is usually an IBM that causes the problems. You are correct that some manufacturers do not use a completely standard mini-pci slot. The way I understand it is that certain pins are designated for vendor use. We have run into the problem where a card doesn't completely work. What will happen the OS will recognize the card and install the drivers, but you will not be able to pickup any wireless networks or the card will come up that the radio is off. This happens when it is installed into a machine that has a proprietary mini-pci slot. These machines are usually ones that have a hardware switch to turn the radio on and off. The manufacturers do not all wire this option the same way. All you need to do to work around it is to cover 2 pins on the card and it corrects the problem by disabling the hardware switch. I have instructions on how to do this for anyone that runs into the problem. We offer a pretty liberal return policy. Any buyers who can not get it to work are more than welcome to return it for a refund if they feel it is incompatible." Instructions below: "Cover pins 11 and 13 on your m-pci wireless card (even pins are on the bottom side, the odd are on the top. For orientation, the top of the card is where you plug the two antenna in. While facing the top of the card count to pin 11 and 13. (from the cut in the card over, don't forget to count the lone pin as well 1,2) cover both pins 11 and 13 with tape (or finger nail polish) Place card back, start laptop, and you should be able to configure it from there." ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
