The Overview document is about DGD without networking package.  If you
hadn't been using the networking package, what you did would have worked.

With the networking package, you'll have to open the ports yourself:
from initd.c, clone PORT_OBJECT, and open the port as it would have been
done from driver::initialize().

Note that the driver object clones two port objects, which go unused
if initd.c exists.  This is an error that will be corrected in 1.1.29.
