Re: [osol-discuss] OpenSolaris cancelled, to be replaced with Solaris 11 Express

2010-08-17 Thread Francois Laagel
ARC approvals and the underlying transparency of the whole thing were, to me at least, one of the very best part of the process. Of course, I never had to go through this myself but the whole point of the architectural review committee was to make sure that a project and all its ramifications we

Re: [osol-discuss] So who is ready to be let down?

2010-07-13 Thread Francois Laagel
That is a bit extreme. That being said I really hope I won't have to move back to Limux myself. I would miss ZFS and IPsec among many other nice features of Osol. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensola

Re: [osol-discuss] Opensolaris or Solaris VPN solutions

2010-05-11 Thread Francois Laagel
They did indeed, back in the days of Solaris 2.6. Their client is Sparc only though. The thing is you don't necessarily need client software to implement a VPN using Cisco gear. I myself, am currently implementing a very small scale VPN (L2TP over IPsec, LAC initiated dialin remote access) and th

Hi John, I'm glad to report that your workaround also works here. That remains a hack, though. Somebody more informed than I am about the official channels for doing so, should definitely file a CR against this. Sticking to snv_125 for the time being. Best regards. Francois > Unpluggin

[osol-discuss] USB Mouse Vanishing in snv_126

2009-11-04 Thread Francois Laagel
Greetings folks, My most recent update to snv_126 has been a mixed blessing: it worked perfectly fine on my IA-32 ATI PCIe based box but still is up in the air wrt. my other AMD64 NVIDIA box. Case in point: USB HID mouse support. On that very same AMD64 box, snv_125 works like a charm but on on

[osol-discuss] adp driver & the extra repository

2009-10-29 Thread Francois Laagel
Can we expect the adp driver (present in SXCE build 125) to be included into the OpenSolaris extra repository at some point in the future? That driver supports a bunch of old Adaptec HBAs--the AHA 2940 (aka AIC7861) being one of them--and seems to be distributable only under binary form, which i
