The inet dhcp method should be just working. The static configuration probably needs to make sure that /servers/socket/2 is translated as /hurd/pfinet -i /dev/eth0 -6 /servers/socket/26 and /servers/socket/26 as /hurd/pfinet -i /dev/eth0 -4 /servers/socket/2 as I guess ifupdown hasn't yet bet taught to do it. > So I think in general we are in a good spot and what is left is to have > maintainers apply all the patches which were submitted.
