You are right, it's the Symbian^3 which has been open sourced.  Even
though, with that source available it is still possible to better
understand the platform, also for the pre-Symbian^3 releases.  But of
course, there are differences.

In regards to building and installing, I found these references.  TBH,
I'm not a Symbian user, and don't have too much interest in the core
details here (but I do pay attention to the general things that's
happening) - so my findings might not be accurate.

I hope this gave a little bit clearer answers.

When it comes to the need for a tun/tap device: I believe that this will
be easier to implement, also on the older Symbian versions.  The
Symbian^2 and earlier vs Symbian^3 are gradual upgrades.  Some tweaking
will most probably be needed.  But the general framework around it is
most probably quite close to Symbian^3.  Now it's up to the guys deeply
understands the tun/tap drivers and networking in kernel space to catch
the ball and bring it further.


kind regards,
