As of today, WinPcap 4.0 is available in the download section of the WinPcap website, http://www.winpcap.org/install/ .

This software release contains major improvements to the kernel driver, which has been thoroughly reviewed (and partially rewritten). As a result, WinPcap 4.0 is extremely more reliable and stable than previous versions! The 4.0 version also adds the long awaited stable support for x64 platforms, including Windows XP and the upcoming Vista. Finally, this release includes support for the CACE Technologies Wireless AirPcap Adapters, the first open and affordable solution for Wi-Fi capture on the Windows platform.
Full details of the changes can be found in the change log attached at
the end of this message. As always, we profoundly thank all the users that tested the development versions of WinPcap 4.0, it would not have been possible without your help and precious suggestions. Thanks!
