Argh, my bad!!!
Yes, it make sense, as most of BeOS R5 out-of-box apps are linked 
against libnet.so too.
Okay, I'm sorry for misguided installation step(s).

So, instead of putting these two libnet.so and libnetapi.so into /boot/
home/config/lib, 
create a new "lib" folder where the OBOS network bin apps are 
(ifconfig, arp, ping, etc), and put these libraries there.
That way, only these small, command lines only, apps will use OBOS 
network (not yet ready) replacement libraries...

No, was my fault. Sorry for any time wasted.
