[9fans] anyone use 9vx with root from kenfs?

[Skip Tavakkolian]

if so, does it involve aux/trampoline?

i looked through the archives and can't see any mention of IL. i'm using sources from yiyus' repo on bitbucket.

I did that just after 9vx was announced. /net was ported
from plan9 by devon iirc. and il was easy to port then
mod some sign issues. it depended on raw networking.
I stopped using it since drawterm didn't crash and 9vx
did at the time.

i put the source (no hg) for 9vx with a builtin /net on
http://ftp.9atom.org/other/9vx.tar.bz2

The Plan 9 network stack and the work dho did was merged in my repo (and so in ron's and others) a long time ago. It was one of the first things I did.

There are two options: to use a pcap-based ethernet device (which needs root) or a tun/tap one (then you don't need root, but will probably want to set up a virtual network). Though none of them are enabled by default, this can be changed using command line arguments or a plan9.ini file. Everything should be explained in the man page.
