Hi Roy,

if-hurd.c and privsep-hurd.c are mostly stubs because setting up IPv4 is pretty
common
amongst all platforms and the only hurd specifics we need is the ability to get
the
interface index and hardware address - other platforms can get this via
getifaddrs and
look at AF_LINK/AF_PACKET address which the Hurd lacks.
The Hurd also lacks important things like interface/address/route state change
notification.
Anyway.....
Checkout the hurd_test branch
./configure
make
sudo make install
Ensure pfinet is running
sudo dhcpcd
And the 10-pfinet hook script we installed should then configure pfinet on the
fly with the needed details
and configure resolv.conf for you.
IF lwip only supports one interface then it could be configured the same way.
Otherwise we'll need to start adding ioctls to if-hurd.c to handle setup.
I finally had some time today to actually get hands-on with the code and
test everything. It works for me.
The pfinet hook might need some changes to detect active translators
instead of passive translators, and to not be strict about translators
being installed at `/hurd/*`.
On the other hand, pfinet and lwip react differently to fsysopts
commands. I should make some changes to lwip to make it behave exactly
like pfinet, for compatibility. There's no reason we should require a
different hook for lwip. The pfinet one should be valid.
Also, of course, I'll work on the ethernet headers.
