Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Npcap 0.04 call for test

Hi list,

In latest 0.04 r6 version, I have used 0x02, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 for an IPv4 packet and 0x18, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 for an IPv6 packet (tell me if you have better value for IPv6). The driver can return NdisMediumNull now for loopback interface. Wireshark seems to work now, one little issue is that in the "Characteristics" tab in loopback interface's "Interface Details", "Media supported" and "Medium in use" shows (0xffffffff) instead of a understandable string, this is because that the source code lacks the -1 to string mapping.

Latest installer is at:

Cheers,
Yang

Only if we want to have to modify tcpdump/WinDump and Wireshark to handle that value.  It currently doesn't, as no platform that supports DLT_NULL uses it.
