Hi there:
I just downloaded 9vx and started up on my box.
On http://swtch.com/9vx/ it is mentioned that I can access my host's
network stack, but I cannot figure out how (or maybe I am not
understanding it right?). There is no network interface on /net. Can
someone point me some docs on how to configure my network on 9vx? Is
it necessary to create tap interfaces or something alike on my host?

Saludos

Actually, you don't have to do anything. The /net/tcp
and /net/udp are all you need for normal network access.
However, be aware that there's no /net/icmp, so things
like ip/ping won't work. But stuff like ftpfs and 9fs
work just fine.
