The Plan 9 network stack and the work dho did was merged in my repo (and so in ron's and others) a long time ago. It was one of the first things I did. There are two options: to use a pcap-based ethernet device (which needs root) or a tun/tap one (then you don't need root, but will probably want to set up a virtual network). Though none of them are enabled by default, this can be changed using command line arguments or a plan9.ini file. Everything should be explained in the man page. -- - yiyus || JGL .
