<DIV>Thanks Gianluca!<BR><BR>Yes it does answer my question.<BR><BR>The only
feedback I have is that 4.0 seems to handle the case where a NIC is disabled
or removed from a system while winpcap is using it (3.1 results in a BSoD).

<DIV><FONT size=2>Yeah, that bug was fixed between 3.2alpha1 and 4.0alpha1
(that's one of the reasons why we bumped from 3.2 to 4.0).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR>RE: Vista Reviews. That just meant how is WinPCap working on
Vista boxes? Your answer seems that it works fairly well, the NetMon
issue aside.<BR><BR>I believe I tried installing the wpa_supplicant with
winpcap onto a Vista system and an error appeared when -I suspect- Winpcap was
trying to load. BUT I'm not positive it was a 4.0 version or 3.1....I'll
try 4.0 for sure and see what happens.<BR><BR><BR>Thanks so

<BR>> <BR>> George, <BR>> <BR>> we are
planning to have a new beta within a couple of weeks, and then have
WinPcap 4.0 stable in mid-january, in any case no later than end of
january. <BR>> <BR>> The new beta (beta3) will contain some
bug fixes related to AirPcap support, better support for Vista, and
a major "polishing" of packet.dll. This last task was carried on to
guarantee an easier maintenance of the code and have a more
coherent tracing system for this DLL. <BR>>
<BR>> Moreover, starting from this new beta, we will completely
drop support for Windows 9x/ME. The latest version supporting
Win9x/ME will be WinPcap 3.1 (stable) or WinPcap 4.0beta2
(unstable). <BR>> <BR>> In general we determine when a beta
goes stable from a number of factors, among which feedback from the
users and features and fixes that we want to push into WinPcap
(e.g. the support for AirPcap adapters that was added this summer).
For example, the main reason for this beta3 is basically
the "polishing operation" in packet.dll, that could have introduced
some minor bugs and glitches. <BR>> <BR>> Related
to Vista, I don't know exactly what you mean "Vista reviews". I
know there are already users playing with WinPcap on Vista, and
no specific problems have been reported on this platform. The major
headache so far is that NetMon (the Microsoft network sniffer
component) is not shipped as part of Vista, so WinPcap is not able
to sniff on dialup and VPN connections on this new release of the
OS. <BR>> <BR>> I hope this answers your questions.
