Re: [9fans] USB3 1Gb ethernet card working on 9legacy (rpi 4)

It should be documented somewhere, but at present it's only implemented
for the bcm kernel, and raspberry pi doesn't have a plan9.ini. (It sould be
possible to move etherusb.c to /sys/src/9/port and use it on other platforms
too. But it's a bit of an ugly hack.)

Until rpi4, the built-in ethernet adapter on the raspberry pi was via usb,
so 'ether0=type=usb' was the default and didn't need stating explicitly.
The rpi4 has proper (non-usb) ethernet, so etherusb shouldn't be needed there
except for niche situations (like a network appliance with multiple ethers?).

Yes it should.
