OK, can the doc be reposted?
I've looked at the openbeos web site and there it actually says they've
decied NOT to integrate any network stuff into the kernel, which is such a
big mistake... :(
Without that bottom layer having full access to the kernel it's impossible
to actually have a decent stack, IMHO.
Presumably this can be changed?
Given how little has actually been done by this group publically (by that I
mean viewable from the web site) maybe we should try to get something
produced :)
