What is the destination MAC-address set to? It is normal for NDIS
to loop back broadcast (and multicast?) frames sent from the same
interface. Set the receive-mode to non-promiscous should work okay.
E.g.
PacketSetHwFilter (adapter, NDIS_PACKET_TYPE_DIRECTED |
NDIS_PACKET_TYPE_BROADCAST);
works fine for me.
