Hi all, > - GetNetInfo *is* Win32 specific, like packet.dll. On the other side, > wpcap.dll exports a superset of the the libpcap library, which is > system independent.

True, but there's more than just Ethernet, so if it's done at the Pcap level, it has to be fully generic, meaning, not just for all supported platforms, but also for all supported link layers. Which makes the code even more bloated...
