The behaviour of the NDIS wrapper change on SMP machines.
The behaviour of the video card doesn't change on SMP machines. That's why
WinPcap doesnt' work on your machine.
In any case, we argue that who owns a SMP machine has a lot of money, and we
do not have that much. So, please contribute to the WinPcap project first.
Then, we can start talking again.
We already provide software *and support* for free, using our spare time.
Please be cooperative in supporting our work.

Subject: [WinPcap-users] SMP support in winpcap
Hi,
Just a (silly ?!) question about SMP support in winpcap. I definatly not
understand why winpcap won't work on a multi-processor machine...
I understand an application optimized for SMP won't work with a single
processor computer but an application that is working in a single processor
computer should always work in an SMP computer, isn't it ???? In the worst
case, it will use only one processor, isn't it ? Could somebody explain this
issue to me ? As far as I understand and from what I read in the mailing
list archives, problems are more multi-thread related than smp related
(global variables access and so on ...)
To give an example, I have never seen smp version for video cards drivers or
network card drivers whereas these drivers hardly access hardware
ressources. You install the same drivers when you have a single processor
computer and when you have a smp computer.
Please, give me the answer ..... It's a long time since I'm waiting to be
able to use winpcap on my computer !!!!!!!!
Many thanks
Thomas
