Are you saying that to do any testing with the stack, I need to run that
program?  Or just that I need to run it if I want to test the kernel
version?  Either way, I can't locate it:

$ pwd
/boot/home/Desktop/OpenBeos/current/tests
$ ls
kits

There is no add-ons directory.

I found a "net_stack_driver", but it doesn't seem to want to load:

$ net_stack_driver &
802
$ sh: ./net_stack_driver: Invalid argument

I still get a General OS Error.  I am about ready to nuke my system and
start over from scratch (it is a test system, so it is no big deal).

I'll check that out.
