Re: [9fans] Raw ethernet on 9vx

"ip link ..." can optionally set or select the ethernet address, which is indeed 48 bits (6 bytes) long. I can see how that may be linked to the DHCP failure, but only as an educated guess. Lucio. On 12/9/20, remyw...@cs.washington.edu wrote: > Sorry, I should have quoted the errors more carefu

Re: [9fans] Raw ethernet on 9vx

If you're using the 9front userspace you might want to throw the 9front kernel's port directory at 9vx and rebuild (I haven't tried this). Not that that has anything to do with your current problem. I wonder why it says DHCP failed instead of no success with DHCP. Can't help you with the tun/tap

Thanks everybody for the insight. I have to admit that I know absolutly nothing about networking, so please bear with me (or take over if I'm too slow :). The gentoo wiki has good documentation on switching from ifconfig (n

On list, please, Devon and Remy. I'd also like to get 9VX working. Lucio. On 12/8/20, Devon H. O'Dell wrote: > Ah, neat. David's repo seems more up to date. > > Linux has undergone a few network subsystem and tool revelations in the > intervening decade, so may be worth updating the tap executor

Re: [9fans] Raw ethernet on 9vx

Ah, neat. David's repo seems more up to date. Linux has undergone a few network subsystem and tool revelations in the intervening decade, so may be worth updating the tap executor for modern tools. Happy to help guide on this matter on- or off-list. --dho On Mon, Dec 7, 2020 at 21:55 wrote: >

Thanks Devon, this is helpful! I'm using 0intro's repo, and it seems to already set PLAN9TAP=ethertap for linux (link ). The 9vx doc  suggests `tap 9vx -r plan9 -u glenda` should w

[9fans] Raw ethernet on 9vx

Hello,  I tried out plan9 on 9vx today, and things worked well except for networking. The wiki  claims extensions are needed for raw ethernet and native IP stack, but I couldn't find any resource (all links I tried were 404). Can someone give me pointers
