[9fans] auth/cpu server didnt find the network interface

[Matthias Teege]

Moin,

I tried to setup a standalone cpu/auth server in VMWare as
described in the Wiki. After rebooting and auth the boot process
stops with "ip/ipconfig: binding device: '/net/ether0/clone' file
does not exist" which is correct because there is not "ether0" in
/net.

It looks like that plan9 see the network interface. It reports
".ether#0: amd79c970: port 0x10C0 irq 11: 000C20002729" earlier in
the boot process.

I tried to set ipconfig and ether in plan9.ini but this didnt solve
the problem.

What do I missing?

Many thanks
Matthias

Maybe you need to bind -a '#l0' /net
though I would expect that to be done
for you.

Does ls '#l0' work?

I didnt put the correct driver in the pcauth kernel. I'm so stupid

Does your cpu kernel include a driver for your network card?  The
message of recognition that you see may be coming from 9load, not the
kernel itself.
