Actually they're kind of maintained in the manpages package on kernel.org The maintainer is Michael Kerrisk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages/ Just I didn't think he or anybody did a systematic effort to update the network specific pages to 2.6, so a lot of stuff is missing and some of the notes are quite obsolete now. There are probably too many in the package for Michael to keep them all uptodate. Basically somebody needs to go through the network code and make sure all the ioctls/socket options/cmsgs etc. are documented when they are stable enough. Also some of the manpages I originally never completely finished (like netlink or ipv6). These probably could take a overhaul or rewrite. Also some stuff like netfilter was always undocumented. I would only bother implementing it if the interface is fairly stable though. If you do any improvements please send a patch to Michael. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
