Hi all,

I built OpenVPN 2.3.3 installers that contain tap-windows6 (NDIS 6) drivers:

<http://build.openvpn.net/downloads/temp/ndis6>

Note the build number, "605", where the first digit ("6") means "comes
with an NDIS 6 driver".

I tested the 64-bit version on Win7 64-bit and it seemed to work ok, but
my testing was anything but extensive.  So, if [some of] you happen to
have a non-critical Windows box(es) lying around it'd be great if you
could test whether the new driver works ok in your environment. I
suggest removing any previous OpenVPN installations, installing the new
package and then verifying the driver version using the Device Manager;
the NDIS 5 driver version is 9.9.2, whereas this new driver is 9.21.0

Note that as tap-windows6 is still an unproven driver it can BSOD. We
haven't experienced any problems with it, but it's best too keep that
possibility in mind.

We will soon start offering the OpenVPN installer with NDIS 6-driver as
an option and hopefully soon afterwards make them the default option for
Windows Vista and above.
