Hello WinPcap team,
have not you thought about any common way for support of other than NDIS drivers?
Yes, they have - I think 3.1 beta has support for Endace DAG cards as well.
Note also that libpcap 0.8 has at least some hooks for that - a pcap_t has pointers to functions to use to perform various functions.
My ideas are (see attached file):
PowerPoint isn't necessarily the best format for that purpose, although fortunately I'm at work now and we have a site license for Office for OS X.
1) support for user extension drivers providing the same interface as npf.sys
2) support for user extension DLLs providing the interface similar to calling npf.sys with CreateFile/CloseHandle/ReadFile/WriteFile/DeviceIoControl functions
Doing that in libpcap would probably be possible (and wouldn't require that the drivers behave similarly to npf.sys), but it wouldn't expose those devices through packet.dll. Packet.dll is, I think, primarily considered a "helper library' for WinPcap, rather than an API that people should be using, so that might be OK.
3) mapping of rpcap devices to dummy local devices (it is not real extension)
What's the reason for doing that?
