hi.

i'm trying to set up plan 9 on my computer, however i can't seem to get
ethernet running.  first i tried using an rtl8029 pci card, but it wouldn't
show up at all, then i exchanged it for an rtl8139 card which at least shows
up (with ether0=type=rtl8139), but i can't seem to get it working.

9load seems to probe it, and when i boot i get a line saying:
"ether#0: rtl8139: port 0xE400 irq 11: 00C12602EA37"

however, once rio starts up, if i cat /dev/*alloc it's not there,
and i've got no entries in /net.  bind -b '#l0' /net tells me:
"no free devices"

i have disabled everything that's not needed in the bios (usb, parallel
port, serial ports, etc.) and the network card has got its own irq (ie.
not shared with anything else.)

if anybody has any ideas on how to fix this, i would be very grateful
to hear them!

a different question: is it possible to change the keymap? if so,
how do i do it?

and one more: if i run "mk && mk install" in /sys/src/boot/pc and then
copy 9load to /n/9fat to replace my current one, it never wants to boot.
i just get "PBS..." and then it hangs, even after things like only
adding a print().  i suppose there's something i have to do that i'm
missing... if anybody could help me out with this also, i'd be very grateful.
