Changelog from WinPcap 4.1 beta2
================================
- Added support for the CACE TurboCap boards within wpcap.dll.
- (from libpcap) Added the new functions pcap_create(),
pcap_activate(), pcap_set_XXX() (still not completely documented on
Windows).
- (from libpcap) Added support for various MAC addresses' syntaxes.
Now the following syntaxes are supported:
+ 00:11:22:33:44:55
+ 00-11-22-33-44-55
+ 00.11.22.33.44.55
+ 001122334455.
- Bug fixing:
+ Use FILE_DEVICE_SECURE_OPEN as a parameter to IoCreateDevice()
when creating the I/O device from within the driver on the OSes
that support it.
+ Fixed a bug in pcap_open_live() and pcap_activate(). They were
failing if called on a local adapter with the syntax
rpcap://\\Device....
+ Added a missing input buffer check in the read handler of the
driver when working in statistics mode.
+ Optimized the code in the driver that handles the BIOCGSTATS
control code (map only the needed portion of the user buffer into
an MDL).
+ Fixed a possible memory leak in one of the error paths of the
driver when enumerating the available adapters.
+ Cleaned up some global variable names in the driver.Attachment:
