[Winpcap-users] compiling npf driver and packet library on vista

Tue Aug 25 08:24:41 PDT 2009

The wireleaa card is the one named as "Microsoft" (it's a complicated story, I think I explained why it's like that on Vista in some previous email on WinPcap-users or WinPcap-bugs).

Have a nice day

  Hi Gianluca,

  Thank you for the quick responce. I get the list of adapters that are inbuilt in the system. Below is how it shows me on the command prompt (I am running my application in elevated mode).

  c:\adapters>list.exe

  No.: 0 ==> MS Tunnel Interface Driver
  No.: 1 ==> Microsoft
  No. :2 ==> Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Driver.

  I suppose listing of wireless cards is not happening. Am I using the right release? I have compiled the npf.sys and placed it under /system32/drivers folder and packet.dll under windows/system folder. 

  The same application works fine in XP. Kindly advice.

  Thanks,
  J

    Hi Gianluca,

    I successfully compiled the npf driver and the packet library. I wrote a small application to list down the adapters present. I am facing an issue here where in I observed that only Atheros based card are not getting listed. Is this a known issue? Is there is a solution to this problem?

    Configuration:

    1. Vista Business/Ultimate SP1
    2. Winpcap 4.1.beta

    I am able to list all micosoft and broadcom based cards. Please help me to get some resolution to above matter.

    Thanks,
    J

      Hi All,

      I want my application talk to driver and receive the packets captured  from air. And for the same I need protocol driver to talk pull the packets from the driver and put them to user buffer. I have 4.1 wpcap source.

      I have few questions. It would be great if some one can help me with them:

      1. Compilation environment for npf (protocol driver) and packet library.

    Please follow the directions in the WinPcap developer's pack, or online at

    http://www.winpcap.org/docs/docs_41b5/html/group__compilation.html

      2. Will I have to do any changes in packet library to make it work for my driver to push the packets up the application?

    Integrating support for a new "driver" can be tricky. I suggest you to integrate it at the wpcap.dll level, it's much easier than integrating it into packet.dll. If you modify wpcap.dll, I suggest you to download the sources for 4.1beta5 and have a look at how I added support for the TurboCap cards in the files pcap-tc.h and pcap-tc.c

      3. Are there any odds that needs to be taken care in Vista? I am new to this part of windows.

    No. 

      Your help is greatly appreciated 

    Have a nice day
    GV

    Thanks,
    J
