Networking in HelenOS

Introduction

HelenOS supports TCP/IP networking with IPv4. TCP, UDP, ICMP protocols are supported. Various real and emulated Ethernet network adapters can be used (see below). One usability limitation is that DNS name resolution and DHCP are not implemented yet.

Setting up real hardware

Make sure you have a supported network adapter, otherwise no special setup is necessary. Supported network adapters:

• NE 2000 (ISA) - compatible
• Intel PRO/1000 (1 Gbit)
• Realtek RTL8139 (100 Mbit)
