Hm... isn't this a kernel without anything in it? Does the BIOS provide 
a mechanism for this?

I would expect networking to be something difficult to add to a 
bare-bones system.

If what you want to do is a cake with the letter D, you haven't 
cracked an egg for the cake yet.

Network routines will connect much later. Because the kernel is 
not yet capable of recognizing all the hardware. Even if this 
happens, the D code will not run independently of the operating 
system. So network.d will have many dependencies.

In summary, we are still far from the cream of the cake.  You can 
get a head start with PowerNexOs.

Welcome to the world of D.  We are happy to see idealistic people 
like you. I am sure you will be very happy when you see the 
delicious D codes.

Hi, I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do because the 
link does not work for me, however, we have successfully 
integrated a D networking driver (virtio) in the linux kernel. 
For more information you can check [this 
presentation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weRSwbZtKu0&t=54s&ab_channel=TheDLanguageFoundation).

If you have any other questions regarding the project, feel free 
to contact me on slack or email (razvan.nitu1305 gmail.com).
