Hello again Michael,

I have tried it on another Toshiba netbook, now with driver r8169, and every
other time I try to bring up the interface using DHCP I get pfinet crashing.
It says it creates a core dump file, but I am unable to find one.
This may be independent of the changes you have made, but I don't remember
seeing this before.

I would like to reproduce the output that I get here, but while trying to record
the session using script, I noticed that the bsdutils package on hurd does not
include script.
I attach the record of the session from tmux, but the relevant output of pfinet
crashing is also not being recorded, neither are some irq handler messages on
the second successful attempt. Probably the most useful would be a gdb
backtrace, but I'm not too sure how to do that exactly.

Regards,
João
