"NdisWan support: 
   o due to the large number of messages reporting problems (blue
     screens) with VPNs, PPTP and such connections, we have disabled the
     support for NdisWan adapters.  As a consequence, it is not possible
     to capture from PPP (neither NdisWanIp, nor NdisWanBh,
     norNdisWanBfIn/Out...).  At the moment we have no plans to fix the
     problem with VPNs, PPTP, PPP unless we get a generous sponsorship."
