We need a software tun/tap device running on Windows and an AROS driver to enable networking under Windows.

Something like this, maybe

@deadwood

BTW, there's no 68k version? It seems there are from the changelog

@pixie

I included changes to 68k side to give recognition to people who did the work. Since ABIv0 is in catch-up mode with the master branch, the changes you see listed under 68k area already available in 68k builds of AROS since 2020.

It's quite hard to get the 68k aros, when you're at the table where all the releases are shown, and you choose 68k boot iso
SourceForge states it's not available, you have then to search it manually, and it's not as easy because each folder has different builds

Holy wow, that's a few changes, really positive to see!
Thank you and all the others for continuing to push changes forward!
