The problem is caused by a sanity check in the new buffering method of
winpcap 3.0 beta, that prevents the applications from allocating buffers
smaller than 32 bytes. Netmeter tries to set a 0-byte buffer, and this is
treated as an error by the driver.
The problem will be fixed in the next release of winpcap. For the moment,
try using winpcap 2.3 or an alpha of winpcap 3.0.
