Hello,

I'm new to Winpcap so I hope that my question is clear...
My understanding is that NDIS6 version would enable working with native
WiFi. The company that I'm working for is considering making the needed
modifications for NDIS6 (at least  per native WiFi support). Could you
please estimate the complexity and the duration of such modifications?

Regards,
