Re: [oi-dev] Lenovo N580 Wireless WiFi Card AR5B125

Hi

Unfortunately Atheros Support on Illumos is rather tiny. We have some
Atheros Cards supported until 84xx but after that you are out of luck.
The only thing one could do to make the Situation better is to port over
the freebsd dirvers. I was told it was not that difficult compared to
linux but might still be quite the chellenge if you have never done it
before. I think the current driver might also be related to the FreeBSD
one. Unless it is still from SUN times.

It might even be that the wrong driver attaches to the card.

What you could also try is http://freenicdrivers.la.coocan.jp/

Which might have some drivers for your card/series.

it fails.
Using the same laptop and FreeBSD the connection never fails.  Not once.

Re: [oi-dev] What to do with #4075?

[Till Wegmüller]

Hi

Small fact about these cases in Java.
It is actually quite common for Javabindings to distribute their shared
object files for multiple platforms within the jar. I know OpenGL
bindings do so.

So if you leave them out the jar would just unpack them again and maybe
even fail with permission denied or worse when launching (Depending how
intelligent the libraries unpack routine is.) At it would result in
leftover files after deinstallation.

I favour leaving them in.

Shortly I used mavem on Joyents Java VM image which also provide the linux, 
freebsd and OSX libs only. I guess these are useless, but I havn't seen any 
issuses.
So, simply remove libjansi.so files, keep the README.txt only.? 
The native code is packaged in the jansi.jar file anyway.
