I agree.  That is probably the best way.  Scan the list of IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES returned by GetAdaptersAddresses and find(*) the entry for the WinPCap adapter you're interested in.

(*) AdapterName? Description? FriendlyName? Not sure which one is correct, but I seem to recall ONE of them matches the WinPCap Description field (I think).
