New network capabilities?

[Kevin Oberman]

I see that the new port of VB seems to have added a couple of kernel
modules that are probably network related: vboxnetadp.ko and
vboxnetflt.ko. 

Do these provide new networking options? I have seen quite a bit of
discussion of new network code on this list, but I am not sure exactly
what they cover or how to use them and I don't see much on the wiki, but
it looks like TAP is now available.

Any clues for the clueless?
