sure, I agree. I am only enquiring so as to brainstorm if we should
actually (and be better of) providing a sort of how-to in debugging
network setup on plan9 (besides what is already on the net).

i.e., even if somebody runs into trouble (ultimately), it is better off
posting his output of:

cat /net/ndb

ls /net | grep ether (optional)
ls /net/ether*

ip/ipconfig -DGP


in case he/she is running in recv timeout for 15 secs; shortcut:

ppid=`{ps | grep ipconfig | awk '{print $2}'}
echo kill > /proc/$ppid/note

sorry for the `   as I am writing from GNU/Linux


this may not fully represent what is needed, but this is what I could
gather in few minutes of man pages and some trial and error, after only
30 minutes of Plan9 experience. so I am sure far more experienced users
from the mailinglist can contribute to the article

I will try to tackle it this weekend from this approach/point of view,
maybe I can come up with something rather useful, if not, at least
networking setup for the build I use of vbox/os/version etc.
