Well, it can mean everything...

- can you reproduce it consistently?
- did it happen after capturing hours and hours?
- if it's a USB network adapter, did you disconnect it?
- did it happen after getting your PC out of hibernation?

Hi all. I am getting the following error:

That's an error in WinPcap; you should probably ask the WinPcap developers about it:

or perhaps Gianluca will respond here.
