GSoC: Initial IPv6 code now in trunk

There is great news from the 2010 GSoC midterms... Atis' GSoC work thus far on IPv6 has been merged into the main-line Haiku trunk by Axel due to its quality.

Apply the buildfile diff attached to this post, to any post-r37604 sources to give IPv6 a whirl. Please keep in mind the IPv6 code is still extremely early, using IPv6 may result in dreaded KDL's and other general bugginess. See below for Atis' example usage of the IPv6 modules.

Bug reports on the new IPv6 support can be made on Trac under the Network & Internet >> IPv6 component.

GSoC: IPv6 implementation for Haiku

With the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses that is expected to happen soon, the next Internet protocol version IPv6 has become more important than ever. All major desktop operating systems (Windows, Mac OS, Linux) already have IPv6 support. The main objective of this Summer of Code project is to create an IPv6 implementation in Haiku kernel. This work will allow user-space application developers to add IPv6 support to their programs, and Haiku users to have IPv6 connectivity to the Internet or other networks.

The full proposal follows.
