* Rename the "tun" network device to "tunnel". FreeBSD calls theirs "tuntap" but speaks of both TUN and TAP devices as interfaces for tunnels. The other BSDs seem to do likewise. * Fold the "tun" driver into the "tunnel" network device. The network device now publishes entries in devfs when interfaces are created, and unpublishes them when interfaces are destroyed. This removes the need for the driver and device to communicate through a file descriptor, and thus allows the receive queue to be totally eliminated, massively simplifying that logic. * Use standard net-stack FIFOs instead of TCP BufferQueue, which is specialized to TCP's needs in far too many ways. Thanks to the previous commit adding support for interrupting semaphore waits, we can use the FIFO wait mechanisms, too. * Restructure the TAP logic, and generate MAC addresses more like Linux does. * Actually set type = IFT_TUN, and use the "loopback" frame handler instead of the "ethernet" frame handler. This allows significant cleanup of the header handling logic. * In TUN mode, reject packets that don't look like IP packets. * Delete "tunconfig"; it was mostly stubs and is now unnecessary. TUN mode tested and confirmed as working by kallisti5 with OpenVPN. TAP mode partially tested, but not yet confirmed as working. Fixes #18673.

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
