Can you provide more details of your `ipconfig ra6 recvra 1' failure? What happens? What's printed? What's in /sys/log/v6routeradv (you may have to create it first)? It's not worth supporting any new 10Mb ethernet controllers, and new 100Mb ones are borderline.

What's the current state of the following: 1. 9vx 2. 9null 3. Cpu from Inferno to Plan 9? (i think this might be in npe's inferno fork) 4. Inferno DS? (Is anyone still interested in it?) 5. SSH2? 6. LinuxEMU improvements? I'm sure there's plenty of ideas floating around people could work on. Da
