rpc.portmap moved to portmap recently in unstable.  It's generally
only used for NFS on most systems.

Linux has never used devices in /dev/ for networking.  You use
/sbin/ifconfig to find out about your card, etc.

You should use /dev/MAKEDEV to create new devices, in any case.

(BTW, I think your '?' key is sticking.)
