[Winpcap-users] Problem with automatic modification of the length/type field of mac frames

[Eduardo Escudero Sánchez]

The problem is that i dont use the winpcap library to send packets, i use
packet.dll. To be more precise, i use the packetsendpacket function and i
pass to it the frame already set up as an array of bytes. I've seen the code
of PacketSendPacket and its only an invocation of kernel32.dll WriteFile
function so it should be something with relationship of teh operative system
maybe,what do you think? i really need to get this problem solved , can you
imagine what could be happening?
