Hi all,
Just looking at gathering together all the bits necessary to load
Plan9 onto my iPAQ, and would like to know what accessories are
supported by the port so far.
In particular, given that the LAN is so central to Plan9, what supported
options currently exist for connecting to a network?
I guess there is always a serial ppp connection, but I would like to be
able to plug in to an existing ethernet network without relying on special
software on some other host. Are any PCMCIA cards supported?
A USB ethernet interface would be nice, as it would leave the expansion
free for disk storage, but I am guessing that would be a little ambitious
at this stage.
The sort of thing I would like to be able to do is pull an iPAQ out
of my pocket, plug into somebody else's LAN (after updating the IP
addresses using the built in display) and then boot Plan9.
Then walk over to a random Unix or Windows PC and fire up a vnc
viewer to get a familair development environment with a more comfortable
sized keyboard and screen..
Any suggestions?
Regards,
DigbyT
