<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm writing a ethernet-chip simulatormodule using
WinPcap. The simulatormodule is written as a dll, loaded when needed by the
simulator_manager. To get the module-specifics, the manager
loads/unloads all modules during an enumeration at simulator startup.
Because my module uses WinPcap, wpcap.dll is loaded, too. This all works
fine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Except...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When WinPcap isn't installed (no wpcap.dll on the
PC), the load of my module fails (of course). This means that users that want to
use the simulator, but not my module, have a problem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Question</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there a possibility to defer the load of
wpcap.dll? Either explicitly ( pcap_Load() ) or implicit at first
library-call?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you</FONT></DIV>
