The TCP/IP code is in it's *first* Beta release.
Many of the other things now compiled into the default kernel were at
one stage in a similar state as the current TCP/IP code.
All that you have mentioned will come.
Besides, if you want to beta-test the networking code, you don't need
it to be in a distribution kernel - unlike, for instance, the scsi
driver patches where some people couldn't install linux on their scsi
drives to test it.
