I will try to generate a new tracing version of packet.dll by the end of the 
day. However it's important for me that you test it with winpcap 4.1 beta4.

I'm planning to do that soon (I'm basically working on the porting the 
TurboCap stuff to linux). For

It's a really complicated story. There is basically noone actively 
supporting and maintaining that remote part, I don't basically want to 
commit it to libpcap if noone can maintain it. At the moment the easiest way 
to integrate the TurboCap and remote code is to use the 
"integrate_libpcap.bat" script that automatically applies the two patches to 
a libpcap git/CVS snapshot.

True. However consider that pcap_getevent is for windows only. And we do not 
have a separate windows build configuration without TurboCap...
