[Winpcap-users] Adapters MAC-address

[Gianluca Varenni]

Unfortunately, as Ioan already pointed out, there is no pcap API to obtain 
the MAC address of an adapter. There are two alternatives:

- use the IP helper API, match the name of the adapters returned by WinPcap 
with the ones returned by the IP helper API and obtain the MAC address
- use the Packet API to retrieve the MAC address, as shown in the sample

WpdPack\Examples-remote\PacketDriver\GetMacAddress

Hope it helps
