And furthermore, IIRC, the current Linux networking code is not
Berkeley-derived, though an earlier version was.

The linux network stack was never BSD derived in any way.

[there are two header files that came from net2, but they do not 
contain any code]

OIDNRC, thanks for the correction.   :)

Although, I distinctly remember seeing "Net-2" in one of the boot
mesages in an early kernel (pre 1.0); was that just the header files'
doing?

Net-2 was the name for a linux network code release too. The current code is net4
(actually more net5). But it has nothing to do with the similarly named
BSD release.
