Haiku networking kit bounty

1

Hi!

Could someone please help me word out the code bounty over at www.haikubounties.org for the networking kit? Please email suggestions.

I need it to be very specific, what Haiku would expect from the developer. i.e compatibility with bone, netserver, any drivers, sockets, gui interface, interoperability, etc…

Thanks,
Karl

Hi Karl,

We really need to have a consensus on what we want. Perhaps contact those who donated, and we can all work something out? Compatibility with existing drivers seems eminent. I personally would like to see the BSD stack used as a starting point, rather than rolling from scratch.

Basically make it R5-compatible as a bare minimum requirement.

Maybe i’ll mention something on the bounty site… you see, I was trying to get a precise, technical, programming list of features that should be mandatory for the bounty. I’m not sure that donators know exactly what’s needed for the networking stack, and thats why I contacted the current networking team. I need more than ‘basic’ requirements…

Axel responded to a thread about this just yesterday:

BTW, I don’t think drivers will be affected much - except maybe wifi drivers, as they really require a special configuration method with their own stack, etc.
