[Winpcap-users] Using WinPcap for packet translation

[Loris Degioanni]

Accessing the Ethernet header is default with WinPcap. Just download the 
developer's pack and you'll find many examples to do it.

Bridging is a slightly more complicated problem, because of loopback 
issues (WinPcap capturing back what he's just sent) that are not easy to 
control in current version.
Next version will have better support for these problems.
