  Hi Gianluca, 

  Thanks for the information. I will check that out. But this really do not help to resolve my issue. I am not able to list Atheros based wireless card. Is this a bug with winpcap? Do we have any resolution? 

As I said, the Atheros Card is just listed with a "bogus" name, "Microsoft". And it should appear in the same way using the WinPcap DLLs installed by the WinPcap installer.

Have a nice day
GV

  It would be great if you can help me resolve this issue.

  Thanks,
  J

  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).

    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
