Hi all,****

** **

I don’t know if its generally known about, but you can use user mode networking with models from v 7 onwards. There are some limitations and (at least in my experience so far) connections occasionally drop, but personally I could not configure TAP and a bridge without my desktop locking up, so it was a vast improvement for me. When it connects, ADB works over this connection and you can use that to set up other forwarding tunnels as necessary.****
