Hello,
I think I have it mostly ironed out. I still have a couple of
questions, though:
>You can use jam install-networking.

>forgot why you did that.
Do I still need net_server_driver? If I dont copy the net_stack and
net_server driver files to
/boot/home/config/addons/kernel/drivers/bin, the commands do not work.

I'm not using BONE, just straight R5.03 net_server... Should I kill
net_server before testing? I'm thinking so...
>Oh, there is a problem with your /etc/protocols file. Philippe wrote

Yep, forgot about that. I grabbed the one from my BSD box, and that
is fixed now.
So, this is the procedure I will follow:
1. jam NetworkingKit
2. jam install-networking
3. copy net_server_driver/net_stack_driver to the proper directory
4. disable the NIC in Preferences | Network
5. kill net_server
6. go to /current/tests/kits/net and run ifconfig <mynic>
<mynetaddress>
7. run ping, traceroute, etc..
8. make changes
9. jmp 1
Does this look like a proper procedure?
Also, is our stack entirely contained within the libnet.so and
libnetapi.so files? I guess this harkens back to question about
whether either of the net_*_driver files are actually needed...
I want to iron out a very definite testing procedure that I can
thoroughly document.
Thanks,
Brennan
