<damo22>azert: I tried /dev/ugen0

<damo22>i think the rump_pdev_add() call is missing

<damo22>but i dont want to recreate the entire rump component.c file

<damo22>because its usually autogenerated with ioconf

<azeem>On my Debian unstable Hurd VM, I have

<azeem>demo@debian:~$ showtrans /servers/socket/2

<azeem>/hurd/pfinet -6 /servers/socket/26

<azeem>demo@debian:~$ showtrans /servers/socket/26

<azeem>/hurd/pfinet -4 /servers/socket/2

<azeem>isn't that 2 / -6 vs. 26 / -4 backwards?

<azeem>error: RPC failed; curl 18 Transferred a partial file 2.46 MiB/s

<azeem>error: 4677 bytes of body are still expected

<azeem>fetch-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet

<damo22>demo@zamhurd:~$ showtrans /servers/socket/26

<damo22>/hurd/pfinet -4 /servers/socket/2

<damo22>demo@zamhurd:~$ showtrans /servers/socket/2

<damo22>/hurd/pfinet -i /dev/eth0

<azeem>yeah so why does socket/26 have a passive translator for pfinet -4 .../socket/2 ?

<damo22>is ipv6 supported?

<azeem> -6, --ipv6=NAME Put active IPv6 translator on NAME

<damo22>i dont know

<damo22>ive never used ipv6 in hurd before

<azeem>I am not sure what the status of ipv6 is, just that socket/2 and sockt/26 seems to have their passive translators backwards

<damo22>(12:14:00 AM) damo22: demo@zamhurd:~$ showtrans /servers/socket/2

<damo22>(12:14:00 AM) damo22: /hurd/pfinet -i /dev/eth0

<damo22>that one is different to yours

<azeem>let me try that

<azeem>/hurd/pfinet: file_name_lookup /dev/eth0: Permission denied

<damo22>how does your nic work then

<damo22>you probably need sudo to run netdde

<azeem>I've never wondered :)

<azeem>but of course, I forgot sudo

<damo22>sudo settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i /dev/eth0

<damo22>then you can ifdown /dev/eth0 and ifup /dev/eth0

<azeem>thanks, it's working, let's try with that

<azeem>same failure though:

<azeem>error: RPC failed; curl 18 Transferred a partial file 1.31 MiB/s

<damo22>interesting

<youpi>azeem: no: it makes pfinet on 2 hook on 26 for ipv6, and it makes pfinet on 26 hook on 2 for ipv4

<azeem>I see, that makes sense but isn't very intuitive I guess

<youpi>it is when you read the doc :)
