-Testing against [[Mach/OskitMach]] is currently a real hassle. Fortunately I found [an older **stable** oskit-mach](http://gnufans.org/joachim/hurd/oskit-mach-2002-06-22.tgz) (before Roland messed up the GDT's) -- dated June 2002.

-1. _Try to enable GNUmach to use the [[FreeBSD]] drivers in the OSKit_<br /> I have now looked into this. The [[FreeBSD]] PCI related drivers are initialized from the [[FreeBSD]] PCI probe. GNUmach uses the Linux PCI stuff and hence it would not be done easily.
-2. Port a simple DHCP client.
-3. Use the sound drivers in the OSKit -- port a useful sound daemon.
-4. I want to get SMP working with OSKit-mach.
+1. Add support for my [[RealTek]] 8139 - testing has begun using the 8139too.c and rtl819.c drivers from Linux 2.2.20 - as well as the [latest work by Donald Becker](http://www.scyld.com/network/rtl8139.html).
+2. Add support for my ATA-100 controller to the OSKit - using [And� Hedricks ATA-100 patches](http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick/ide-2.2.20/).
