Re: Get "Malformed Packet" for 802.11 Beacon frames on Windows

Graham/Yang,

Please unicast me and I can give you some hints on how wpcap.dll is compiled on Windows. Shortly, we take the libpcap 
sources and apply a pretty substantial patch on it to compile on Windows.

Have a nice day
GV

Hi Guy,

As you know, Npcap/WinPcap is currently based on libpcap 1.0 branch 1_0_rel0b (20091008), which is a very old version.
Adding features to so old wpcap.dll code will put me even farther away from the libpcap trunk.
So I wanted to use the latest libpcap code in Npcap before adding code. Actually I posted a thread on tcpdump list 
about how to build libpcap on Windows before. But no solutions.

Do you know how to build libpcap into wpcap.dll?
I guess Loris developed the 1st generation WinPcap and ported libpcap into wpcap.dll. How did he achieve this?


This is one of the priority items on my TODO list, however first I want to finish off getting all the Visual Studio 
Code Analysis issues first which has stalled due to lack of time, and the fact that VS2015 Update 1 has totally broken 
driver remote deploy and test.  I need to check if Update 2 has fixed that.
