The first thing to check are the translator settings. A simple typo can ruin everything. So please send us the output of showtrans /servers/socket/2 another thing to try is to start it up as an active translator and see what the error message is. Add the -a option at the beginning to settrans when setting up the socket. > Is there some way to get gnumach or hurd to dump the device tree?

Also of course, recognized ethernet devices are printed at boot time. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
