[Winpcap-bugs] NIC enumeration problem

[Sumit Kalsait]

Hi all WinPCap Guys !

I got starnge problem.
have you ever tried to create a new TAP virtual Ethernet adapter with 
OpenVPN (using the installtap.exe tool) and then check the list of devices 
in your Windows application?(it cannot enumerate interfaces correctly. 
Windows application just sees the how many interfaces are available and 
shows into the listbox) I guess there is a problem within winpcap because 
the new created tap device only appears after a reboot. I have checked 
with ipconfig that the tap device has been generated properly, so I don't 
understand why the list is not actualized by winpcap. The crazy thing is 
that if I delete the tap-devices, winpcap actualizes the list correctly!
I could not find anything about this on the Net. Do you perhaps know how 
to solve this? Because, for the my simulation, it would be great if I 
could generate some TAP devices only when they are needed, i.e. at 
runtime. A reboot is therefore not possible.

Many Thanks and Best Regards
Sumit Kalsait
