Maybe you guys misunderstood the question. Basicall I'm getting a
directory listing (lc) which seems to have multiple entries for the same
file. Like this:

plan9% lc /net
arp                ether0                ipifc             ipselftab
ssl
arp                gre                      ipifc
log             tcp
bootp            gre                      ipmux         log
tcp
bootp            icmp                   ipmux         ndb            udp

cs                  icmp                   iproute        ndb
udp
dns                il                          iproute        rudp
ether0          il                          ipselftab      rudp

plan9%

ls -l yields similar behaviour excepting the anticipated formatting
changes and level of detail.

I have encountered no other portions of the namespace with these
characteristics. If this were a UNIX filesystem of some sort, I'd be
highly suspicious of this listing - but Plan 9 is not a Unix.

Does your /net resemble this, or have I hosed something trying to
configure my networking?

Thanks and Best Regards,
James
