Thanks to the rapid patching and deployment by Samuel, there are now new 
hurd packages available for i386 and x86_64 that I'm expecting should 
fix the e1000e device issue spotted by Jason. These are version 
'0.9.git20260527-3+b1'.

Is there anyone using real hardware who has tested out the latest netdde?

Thanks,

Mike.
