underlying node of unionfs** *(17 Jul)* Such functionality makes
`unionmount` even more transparent.
-* **Try to make `eth-multiplexer` work with statically set instances
- of `devnode`** *(3 Aug)* The problem was in the fact that the root
- node of `eth-multiplexer` was not treated completely similarly as

+* **Try to make `eth-multiplexer` work with static instances of
+ `devnode`** *(3 Aug)* A static `devnode` translator is a `devnode`
+ translator which is told to use the eth-multiplexer's pseudo master
+ device port via the "-M" option. Technically it looks like
+ `settrans -a <node> devnode -M <dir> <device-name>`, where `<dir>`
+ is the node on which eth-multiplexer is running.
