+> This month Zheng Da ported the pcnet32 driver into user space
+> and did some preliminary
+> [performance tests](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2009-11/msg00144.html).
+> The test results were mostly on par with the in-kernel driver, so they show
+> that moving networking on the Hurd into user space can be done
+> without losing (much) performance.
