Hello,

I got the following response from Gianluca Varenni of WinPcap:

It is a known limitation of the WinPcap protocol driver, it detects the lists
of adapters only when it's loaded (i.e. with WinPcap 4.1.1 at boot time), if
you plug an adapter after that, it doesn't get detected until your reboot the
machine or unload/load the WinPcap protocol.

You can unload/load the WinPcap driver on the command line by typing "net stop
npf" followed by "net start npf".


Is it possible for WireShark to add a "rescan network interfaces" feature that
will do the above from WireShark?

Thanks,
Gur
