I guess many used to BeOS/Haiku code will still find even the latest,

FreeBSD net stack code the same.

It's a little bit cleaner. And they are going to standardize the userland<->netstack interface (using sysctl), so you don't have to include kernel headers in userland apps, anymore.

* non-blocking sockets don't work

Huh? I though we fixed this issue long time ago. 

You committed something, but I still could not get Firefox running...

* even DHCP is missing! :( 

Yeah, but I'm the one to blame for that, I never help to integrate it in our
stack as I should have the guy who submit us one possible implementation.

You mean David? His DHCP code is not finished and not ready for the public. As it seems, he does not have time to work on it, either.

Bye,
