Hello,

I am a newbie. I have installed debian gnu/hurd alongside debian gnu/linux
on real hw. I am trying to configure the network with dhclient.
I am following the following tutorials:
http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install and
http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/dde/guide.html .
I am also following the debian hurd mailing list, namely:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2012/05/msg00043.html .
I have updated the hurd, gnumach, netdde, and isc-dhcp-client packages.
Everything seems to be fine.
I then issue a dhclient -v /dev/eth0, and get the following error:

../../../../lib/isc/unix/socket.c:5636: setsockopt(21, IPV6_V6ONLY) failed:
(?)(?)
... Copyright info here ...

fsysopts: /servers/socket/2: -i /dev/eth0: (ipc/mig) server died
Error getting hardware address for "/dev/eth0": No such device

I then tried:

# settrans -fg /dev/eth0
# rm /dev/eth0
# settrans -c /dev/eth0 /hurd/devnode -M /dev/netdde eth0

when I run dhclient -v /dev/eth0 I still get the same error.

I don't know what to do next. I'm looking through the hurd documentation to
see if I can find out more.
It would be really neat to have the hurd running on real hw with the
network enabled.

Here is my lspci: 01:09.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401
100Base-T (rev 01)

Thanks,

Zac
