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 work; but currently I'm missing tunctl, /sbin/ifconfig and /usr/sbin/brctl on the host. They seem to be easy to install. I'll try later and report back.  Remy ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T84b4492f91f2abb6-Mba29a472af61f97b5d3e15ee Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
