My experience with taking over maintainance of the Nokia Phonet stack i= s that=20 there is no such documentation. http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/ contains some basic infos, especially us= eful=20 w.r.t. network buffer management. Other I stick to the Linux Cross Refe= rence=20 at http://lxr.linux.no/ and read the source code. Some of the simpler n= etwork=20 layers (_not_ IPv4 neither IPv6) can be useful as a basic reference (I = read=20 through CAN quite a abut). Hope this helps, --=20 R=E9mi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/
