AROS gets Native TCP/IP Stack

[dammy]

does it support any ethernet cards?

Soon.  Give the Devs a bit of time to get this code squared away, it was just added to the cvs less then 24 hours ago.  3Com and Intel 100 (plus the prism) drivers should be released in the next couple of weeks (or sooner), if I'm reading the tea leaves properly.  Olivier is shipping Neil a 8029 card for prometheus driver wrapper.

As usual, most current info is over on

AROS-exec.org.

Now, when will the ISO's be updated to include it?

The nightly builds from AROS should contain it now.  For AROS-Max, I believe CoolCat is planning a mid Feb release.  Give it a bit of time, Devs are working on bug hunting.

I'm using the PC as a gateway, since the USB modem I have, won't work with my A4000.

Till AROS has a USB stack, won't work either with AROS.

Any plans to have dialer/modem drivers with this TCP stack (like miami) or should I use it behind a LAN/router?

I believe Fabio is (or was) toying the the idea of doing a pppd port.  For now, I'm just waiting on couple of NIC drivers that will be submitted to the cvs sometime soon.
