But my ethernet device probably is not recognised. When I run ip/ipconfig I get:
	ipconfig: /net/ipifc/clone: bind ether /net/ether0: '/net/ether0' cs: file does not exist

It looks to me like the need of ordering a new ethernet card. I will try to order 8169 as you've recomended
and try to connect to the internet again.

I'm booting from pendirve which I've setuped as you described earlier(using dd). Maybe it's happening becouse
I turn off my computer by pressing power button.
How can I turn off plan9 in a clear way?
