Hi, thanks Jakub, I was planning an announcement later today :-). So I guess this is it:
In [mainline,1471] I just merged the next phase of my work on the internet/networking stack. Most of the old stack is gone, namely: - net (packet server), udp, icmp, eth - most of libnet (except parts needed for socket API) - old ping utility and these are replaced with: - inet (Internet layer service, IP+ICMP) - ethip (Ethernet link provider for IP, a.k.a. IP over Ethernet + ARP) - udp (New implementation) - new ping utility - inetcfg CLI for run-time configuration One small problem which needs to be addressed: currently you cannot ping localhost :-P. This is because the legacy loopback implementation no longer works. Also the socket API/implementation will receive an overhaul in the future. I will be adding a networking section to the User's Guide soon. If you find any bugs with networking, please file tickets.
