+> This month Zheng Da 
+> [reported](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-05/msg00037.html)
+> on the state of porting DDE linux26 to the Hurd, 
+> which can improve the GNU Hurd Hardware support a lot: 
+
+>> I tested pcnet32, ne2k-pci, rtl8139, e1000. pcnet32 works in
+>> both VMWare and qemu. Only qemu emulates ne2k-pci and rtl8139 cards and both DDE
+>> drivers work well in qemu. — [[Zheng_Da|user/zhengda]]
+
+> Also Sergio Lopez 
+> [added some patches](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-05/msg00106.html) 
+> to prevent thread storms when synchronizing large pagers in ext2fs. They should improve performance for high throughput situations. 
+
+> Additionally Justus Winter created a [live CD](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-05/msg00033.html) 
+> with an installation wizard in the spirit of the OpenBSD installer. 
+> He needs testers to improve it. 
+
+> And the [scheduled IRC meetings for Google Summer of code](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-05/msg00148.html) are continuing on Mondays and Thursdays, 10:30 UTC. If you want to catch up on them, you can have a look at the [channel logs](). 
+
+> <small>*PS: As the amount of new developments on the Hurd has increased quite a bit since the start of the ‘Month of the Hurd’, these news are only a selection of the items you can already test yourself. There’s more in our [[mailing_lists]]. The rough criterium for the Month of the Hurd is “can you already test it and can I say why it is great for the Hurd at large?” — [[Arne_Babenhauserheide|community/weblogs/ArneBab]]*</small>
