Two weeks ago I asked how do a KEXT get connected to another one.
I got a suggestion to make it dependent - and it worked.
That is, USB KEXT is dependent - and therefore can call - fxns in the NET
KEXT.
Static functions are directly callable, class must be explicitly created.
I still have to work on few details, but the approach is promissing.

This makes sense - the NET portion would be like the shim in OS9.
