This makes using WinPCap+Wireshark frustrating in Windows. However having read about the complete wireless re-architecture in Vista that includes "native driver" support (whatever that means, and see link below) I was wondering if anyone has tested whether <st1:place
w:st="on">Vista</st1:place> with WinPcap3.x or 4.x will overcome this previous limitation.<o:p></o:p></span></font></pre><pre><font

w:st="on">Vista</st1:place> will *probably* enable to capture on Wireless LANs without some of the current limitations. I haven't personally studied too deeply what features will be available to a protocol driver like WinPcap. What I suspect is that in any case at the beginning many Wireless card drivers will still expose the old NDIS miniport interface (ndis 5.1), thus delivering fake 802.3 packets, and will be only later ported to native wifi (= NDIS 6.0?). <o:p></o:p></span></font></pre><pre><font
