Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I had some issues sending to the mailing list after I moved to my reactos.org address. But (if you're reading this) I've since resolved those issues.

Here is a summary of my branches:

tcp-rewrite-branch: A branch which aims to replace our OSKit-based TCP implementation with a lwIP-based implementation. Current problems are very low throughput (~10x slower than oskittcp) and listen/accept issues.

aicom-network-branch: A branch with a few NDIS changes (unfinished), but more importantly all of Alex's changes merged and several fixes to them. Ws2_32.dll in this branch is ws2_32_new.dll in trunk. Ws2_32.dll doesn't work in this branch because there is still some registry configuration that needs to be done for the Winsock providers catalog. Mswsock.dll in this branch is the replacement for msafd.dll in trunk. It has some problems with async selects but that's about it (to my knowledge). Simple applications such as rapps and dwnl work, but more complex applications like firefox and mirc are broken. The ws2help.dll from Alex's branch has already been merged to trunk and this branch. I found it is easiest to work on mswsock.dll using ws2_32.dll from trunk (catalog.c needs to be changed to look for mswsock.dll instead of msafd.dll).

aicom-hardware-fun: Not a networking branch

Please don't merge from Alex's branch for the Winsock items. Instead, use aicom-network-branch because it has many fixes by Art Yerkes and I. Feel free to review our patches if you'd like.

Thanks,
