Yes, in the same way that it's done for TurboCap adapters:

	if (IsTcDevice(p) == TRUE)
	{
		p->activate_op = TcActivate;
	}
	else
	{
	p->activate_op = pcap_activate_win32;
	}

(IsTcDevice() is a function in pcap-tc.c that looks at the device name, as stored in p->opt.source, to see if it's a TurboCap device name or not).

You can either

	1) send it to the WinPcap developers (of which I am not one)

or

	2) send it to the libpcap developers and wait for WinPcap to come out with a release based on a recent version of libpcap (which will require some work to make the remote-device code work in libpcap).
