docs/develop: Remove obsolete "net" documents.

They've been "obsolete" since 2006, so they must be extra-obsolete
by now :-)

<h1>Haiku Network Kit: Build &amp; installation instructions</h1>
<p>Although the stack isn't quite finished, you can already test some basics. <br>
You'll have to get the code, build it, install it and run it. <br>
There isn't yet an easier way of getting the network stack, we're far from ready to release
a binary package. </p>
<p>So, if you accept your mission :</p>
<ol>
<li><b>Get familiar</b>
<p>First, go to <a href="http://open-beos.sourceforge.net/tms/team.php?id=7">team
web page</a>.<br>
Have a look around and see the current status of the stack. Have a glance
over the jobs, perhaps there's something that interests you?
</p>
</li>
<li><b>Furbish your tools</b>
<p>Get the <a href="http://open-beos.sourceforge.net/dev.php">build tools
suite</a>.<br>
You'll need CVS, JAM, the fixed LD linker
</p>
</li>
<li><b>May the code be with you</b>
<p>For dark reason, you should have the source code to build.<br>
So, you must checkout (anonymously) the full OBOS CVS:
<ul>
<li>Using CVS tool: follow the SourceForge <a href="http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=33869">information
on CVS</a>.
<li>If you don't want to fight with 'cvs' command line syntax, I recommand
you using <a href="http://www.bebits.com/app/3407">CheckItOut</a> tool, with these settings values:
<p>
<table border=0 cellspacing=4>
<tr><td align="right"><i>Project Name:</i></td><td><tt>open-beos</tt></td></tr>
<tr><td align="right"><i>Location:</i></td><td><tt>/path/to/where/you/want/to/store/OBOS/cvs/tree/locally</tt></td></tr>
<tr><td aligb="right"><i>Module Name:</i></td><td><tt>current</tt></td></tr>
</table>
</p>
<p>Only check <em>&quot;Open Tracker once Completed&quot;</em> option, if you
want. <br>
There, click &quot;<em>Go</em>&quot;. Patience, it take time (and bandwidth!)</p>
<li>Other solution: download and unzip the current CVS <a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/open-beos-cvsroot.tar.gz%20">snapshot
tarball</a> from SourceForge. <br>
Beware, it's huge, expect around 13MB.
</ul>
</p>
</li>
<li><b>Build</b>
<p>Building the whole Networking Kit stuffs was made easy by Jam rules.<BR>
Simply run these commands from a Terminal:</p>
<p>
<TABLE cellpadding=6 bgcolor=#E5E5E5 border=0>
<TR>
<TD><TT>$ cd /path/to/your/local/openbeos/current<BR>
$ ./configure<BR>
$ jam NetworkingKit</TT>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</p>
<p>It should build all networking kit stuffs. If you encount any compile or
link errors, report it to the network team mailing list.</p>
</li>
<li><b>Install</b>
<p>There are basically two ways to install the networking kit. The first way is to do it manually, as is described below. The second way
is easier, as you won't have to do anything manually. If you want to use the second way, use the command <tt>jam install-networking</tt>.
This way you can skip all the manual steps described below. Please note that the Haiku provided utilities like ping, are located
under your local <tt>current/tests/kits/net/</tt>, where you can execute them as often as you like.</p>
<p>However, if you are the manual type of person, you can find the networking kit binaries now under your local <tt>current/distro/x86.R1/*</tt><br>
To install:
<ul>
<li>open your <tt>current/distro/x86.R1/beos/system/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin</tt> folder<br>
</li>
<li>copy the <tt>net_stack_driver</tt> and <tt>net_server_driver</tt> into
your <tt>/boot/home/config/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin</tt><br>
</li>
<li>create in your <tt>/boot/home/config/add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/net</tt>
two symlinks <tt>&quot;net_stack_driver&quot;</tt> and <tt>&quot;net_server_driver&quot;</tt>,
targetting the ones in <tt>../../bin/net_{stack|server}_driver</tt> (create this 'dev/net'
directory if it don't exists yet)
</li>
<li>copy the whole <tt>current/distro/x86.R1/beos/system/add-ons/kernel/</tt>
network folder to your <tt>/boot/home/config/add-ons/kernel</tt><br>
<font color="red">BEWARE</font>: BONE users, you should disabled BONE own <tt>/boot/beos/system/add-ons/kernel/network</tt>
modules folder, as our stack try to load these modules too, which currently throw you into KDL heaven...<br>
So, rename this folder into anything that make sense, like <tt>network.bone</tt>. It'll disabled BONE after a reboot, which is required
anyway to test the OBOS stack...
</li>
<li>copy the <tt>libnet.so</tt> and <tt>libnetapi.so</tt> libraries from your <tt>current/distro/x86.R1/beos/system/lib</tt>
to a <tt>lib</tt> folder you should create into your <tt>current/distro/x86.R1/beos/bin</tt>, where the command line
OBOS networking kit apps are located.<br>
</li>
</ul>
</p>
</li>
<li><b>Test, test, test</b>
<p>You should free one of your /dev/net/*/0 network card (by disable in BONEyard,
or by disabling in Network for net_server) Then, run the OBOS ifconfig tool from
Terminal to see (and start) the stack detected interface(s) Last, play with
ping, arp, traceroute, etc. Also check out the details on the <a href="http://philippe.houdoin.free.fr/phil/beos/openbeos/network_kit/">stack
design.</a></p>

<H1>Haiku Network Kit: Debugging instructions</H1>
<P>For debugging purpose, and eventually stack internals learning purpose, we have develop
an userland stack version, sharing most of the <A href="stack.html">network stack</A>
source code but hosted by a app, <i>net_stack_tester</i>, in contrast with the real one hosted in kernelland, behind the
<A href="stack_driver.html">stack driver</A>.
</P>
<P>The following image shows this debug platform overall design:</P>
<IMG ALT="Haiku Network Stack debugging platform block diagram" SRC="obos_net_server_design_1.gif"><BR>
<P>The <A href="libs.html#libnet">libnet.so</A> library was modified to check if the NET_STACK_DRIVER_PATH
environment variable is defined and use his value as driver path to interface with.
To switch to <i>net_stack_tester</i> hosted stack version, just run this
from a Terminal:</P>
<p>
<TABLE cellpadding=6 bgcolor=#E5E5E5 border=0>
<TR><TD><TT>$ export NET_STACK_DRIVER_PATH=/dev/net/server</TT>
</TABLE>
</p>
<P>Starting from there, all apps using libnet.so services will use the debug stack version.

<H1>Haiku Network Kit: R5 compatibility issues</H1>
<P>Unfortunatly, R5 and sooner (net_server based) network stack development header file (/develop/headers/be/net/socket.h) definition of
network structures and constantes are not BSD standard ones.<BR>
BONE, otherwise, try to follow at best these standards definitions which,
in turn, break binary compatibility with R5 network apps compiled for R5 network stack.<BR>
Hence why you needs to link against libsocket.so, libbind.so and libbnetapi.so BONE apps instead of
R5 libnet.so and libnetapi.so libraries...
</P>
<P>So, here we are. By design, we must:
<UL>
<LI>Provide backward binary compatibility with old, non-standard, network definitions used
by apps linked against R5 network stack;
<LI>But use the standard/de-facto BSD network definitions, to increase Unix network apps ports ease under
Haiku.
</UL>
</P>
<P>Network definitions differences:

<I>Location</I>: <CODE>src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/network/stack</CODE>
<P>The stack driver is the interface between <A href="libs.html#libnet">libnet</A> and the real stack behind him,
host by the <A href="stack.html">network stack</A> kernel modules.</P>
His purpose is multiple:
<OL>
<LI>Provide the sockets == file descriptors support
<LI>Provide a support for select() on sockets
<LI>Load the network stack at first access, and keep it that way then...
</OL>
