Hurd on real hardware: My network stopped working.

[Zenon Burak <zenon.burak@gmail.com>]

I had a WORKING Debian/Hurd system on my old but real hardware: Intel
Celeron 415MHz, 0.5GB RAM, NE2000 network card (IRQ9, 0x300). Network
was working ok (I could upgrade my system by apt-get), but It stopped
working after one of upgrade, about 2 month ego.

How can I detect and solve my problem?

I see those messages during statup:
................................................................
Configuring network interface...inetutils-ifconfig: socket error:
Translator died
ifup: failed to bringup lo
................................................................

My /etc/network/interface:
------------------------------------------
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
iface /dev/eth0 inet static
	address 192.168.1.2
	gateway 192.168.1.1
	netmask 255.255.255.0
------------------------------------------

I have executed some commands:
.....................................
$ devprobe eth
eth0
$ ifup /dev/eth0
inetutils-ifconfig: SIOCSIFADDR faled: No such device
ifup: failed to bring up /dev/eth0
