Subject: [9fans] how to make hardware work?
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 9cf9b02a-ead6-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

I've installed Plan 9 on my netbook. There are several things I can't
leave without - internet and music.

My system information collected in Linux and Plan 9, usb/ether output
https://gist.github.com/782904

Ethernet works ok, how to make PPP over USB?  I've found ppp(8),
usb/ether and cinap_lenrek/usbether, zwansch/usbuart in contrib.

    term% usb/ether -D
    usb/ether: fsioproc pid 471
    <- Tversion tag 65535 msize 8216 version '9P2000'
    -> Rversion tag 65535 msize 8192 version '9P2000'
    <- Tauth tag 4 afid 219 uname sergeykish aname
    -> Rerror tag 4 ename permission denied
    <- Tattach tag 4 fid 219 afid -1 uname sergeykish aname
    -> Rattach tag 4 qid (0000000000000000 0 d)
    usb/ether: startdevs: opening #0 [2]
    usb/ether: [2]: can't open endpoint [2]: '[2]' file does not exist
    usb/ether: no device found

I have no idea what to do.
There is no /dev/audio, cat '#A' says hardware isn't soundblaster.

Not so important issues:

* There is no plugged usb disk (which I use to boot)
* I'd like to have wifi
* and accelerated graphics (it is hard to get poulsbo working even on
Linux)

How to make it work? Is there tutorials, books? Ruby, Python,
JavaScript and Sh are my primary languages today. Used to program
windows applications on C++ (shame on me).
