Hi Yihong,

Everything that you've described is to be expected.  "click-install" only prints 
error messages.  Configuration output is written to the system log, which is 
accessible through the "dmesg" program or through /var/log/messages.  Try 
installing 'test.click' and look at dmesg; do you see the "ok: " lines?  The 
test-device.click configuration states in a comment that any packets sent to the 
eth0 interface will be dropped.  Do you see lines in 'dmesg' printing received 
packets, though?  And finally, the click kernel module should normally be unused 
(unless you install a package that depends on it).
