i didn't - i didn't know it existed! i don't have an eepro100 card _per se_, btw, it's built-in into the sony portable (pcg-z600hek). > Did > the card get detected?

You can read more about what options pfinet has by > supplying --help to pfinet (i.e. /hurd/pfinet --help). okay, that i found and tried last night. google threw up something on the debian lists. the error message i get (from memory) is that permission is denied because the socket is already in use. so i took a look in /servers/socket and found a symbolic link inet already existed (???) so i did ifconfig -i eth0 and it said eth0 (-1) urk. then i did ps ax | grep pfinet and found that yes, a pfinet _did_ exist, so i killed it. then i tried the settrans command again and it worked. ifconfig -i eth0 however reported the same message. then i did ls -altr /servers/socket and it reported that pfinet died. > next time you respond, please do both myself, and yourself, a > favour: please try not to make your response, to someone who is > enthusiastic about your project, sound like you want to kick their > head in. > > If trying to actually help someone politely sounds like one wants to > kick them in the head, so be it. i apologise: i'm over-sensitive to these things (given the history of how badly the samba team leaders treated me and my work), and tend to over-react to even the slightest thing. l. _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
