I was able to work-around this by recoding to call pcap_lookupnet instead of
PacketGetNetInfo. I noted that the latest Ethereal code also calls
pcap_lookupnet, so I expect this API will be supported for awhile even
though you have deprecated it in winpcap v3.1.
It's a libpcap API, so it probably can't be removed any time soon.
It's not *exactly* replaced by pcap_findalldevs(), in that it returns information about a particular interface, rather than enumerating interfaces and supplying information on all of them.
If all you want is the address and netmask, pcap_lookupnet() is the right choice, as it's available on more platforms than any of the alternatives (the packet.dll functions aren't present on UN*Xes, and the packet.dll API is subject to change from WinPcap release to release, and pcap_findalldevs() is available only on newer versions of libpcap/WinPcap).
