Host only TCP/IP implementation based on FreeBSD

Hello,

You can look at http://www.rtems.com/ Their TCP/IP stack is derived
from FreeBSD and is probably better suited for 'extraction' than
current FreeBSD TCP/IP implementation. Also, the QNX public SVN
repository should contain QNX's fork of the NetBSD network stack as
separate resource manager.
