# afaik you have to set up your /hurd/pfinet server in order to get your
# network devices (ethx) .. look here:

I'm under the impression that the translator setup can only occur
after the kernel detects the interface; that is, I tried running
settrans according to the documentation, but I get a "no such
interface" error.  That, along with some other things I have read,
leads me to believe that it's a kernel/driver issue; once the device
is detected, I can then attach a translator to it to use it.  Is my
understanding of this correct?

Thanks!
