Just to put things in perspective, I, on the other hand, have a mostly working
streaming and recording solution written in a mix of C/C++, which works on 
embedded systems, like Buffalo LinkStation (NAS), Asus WL500 and similar
(WiFi AP with USB port), Siemens 740AV (DVB settopbox with ethernet port).
All systems too small for Java (well, I have working gcj on MIPSel based
linkstation, but not on the newer, ARM based one).

The part that deals with system info is attached. It is caught in the middle
of C -> C++ transition (I tend to do work incrementally, rewrite a small piece,
wire it back to the original system and test, and usually fall off and go to bed 
once I get to the WOW point ;-) It then takes a month or so before I find 
another free timeslot to work on it more. It works, after all, so the motivation 
is always reduced after each such a milestone), so it might be hard to decipher.
And never believe comments in the source code ;-)
Feel free to ask more, but my RTT might be worse over the winter break.
