Apologies for coming in a bit late into the discussion.

The new network plugin/code was orignally done by Ian and mangled by 
myself (with contributions by Bert and Yoshiki IIRC) to be used in etoys 
as OLPC is IPv6 only. So would be worthwhile checking the etoys network 
code.

Idea behind getting the code into Pharo was to enable more than the 
really outdated and bare bones network access available through the old 
network code.
That the new stuff still doesn't work is a shame, but IMHO we should fix 
it rather than throwing it out.

Patching the current code to allow use of the old network stuff would 
buy us time to fix the new code.
