Hello,
I've recently installed Plan 9 as part of an extra credit research project
for my introductory operating systems class. Looking forward to messing
with it, but at the moment I'm having a problem getting either one of two
ethernet controllers detected. Neither of them are being detected.
I have an on-board ethernet controller using the SiS900 chipset, and a
Linksys WPC11 Wireless card. After installing Plan 9, and running
ipconfig, I got the message telling me that /net/ether0 doesn't exist. I
read the Network Configuration wiki, and the manpage for plan9.ini, so I
tried getting the on-board chipset detected first with the following
addition to plan9.ini:
ether0=type=83815 ea=myethernetaddress
This didn't seem to work, as there was still no /net/ether0. So I tried
the linksys card:
ether0=type=wavelan essid=myessid
Note: "myethernetaddress" and "myessid" not actually written in plan9.ini,
just used for clarity.
This didn't create /net/ether0 either.
I'm not sure what other information to provide, but I would be glad to
provide upon request. Thanks in advance for any help.
Sincerely,
Ray Amberg
