This thread is mighty old now.. but I would like to point out that the Glendix project has been doing something quite the opposite of what Corey wants, but solves the same problem. http://www.glendix.org/ Imagine running the Linux kernel and all of regular GNU, with all the Plan 9's sweetness pat

I just tried the 9atom 9pxeload with my Thinkpad X200s, and indeed the ethernet card works enough for the loader to pull the kernel. The kernel, then, is a 9pc terminal, compiled with IL support so that I can communicate with Ken FS. I get to the "root is from (tcp, il)[il]:" prompt, with a messa

Is there any work going on to drive the Intel 82567LM ethernet cards from Plan 9? I was trying to PXE boot my Thinkpad X200s laptop, when Plan 9 aborted, as there are no drivers for this card, so it couldn't pull the kernel, post 9pxeload. Thanks, ak
