Re: [Winpcap-users] Adapting WinPcap’s functionality for connecting to Wi-Fi access points (APs).

[George S. Lockwood]

Bryan,

Thanks for you help in getting me started.  I have been able to use the
product (with wpa_supplicant) to log onto a EAP-TTLS / CHAP network.

You were tremendously helpful in getting me started and pointing out sources
of more information. Even those which were really for wpa_supplicant.  Thank
you.

Here's a question about this product: if I wish to use it on a win9x
machine, I need to have a packet.dll (others?) specifically for that OS.
Right?  Where to I get a set of premade binary dll(s) or must I build them
myself?

thanks again,

george
