<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>yes, I know a driver is needed. I just want my dll
to load correctly even when winpcap isn't installed. Of course, it wouldn't work
but it would give me the possibility to inform the user.</FONT></DIV>

loading of wpcap.dll</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>hi..</DIV>
<DIV>see apart from loading wpcap.dll at runtime..</DIV>
<DIV>that dll also requires som driver running in kernel mode ...(npf.sys(as i
remember the name) in this case)</DIV>
<DIV>otherwise it won't work...</DIV>
<DIV>so u can do this thing u can put that file in the installation diectory
and register that driver..or jus tell the user to install the required library
files..</DIV>
<DIV>i think that would work..</DIV>
<DIV>bye.<BR><BR><B><I>Marcel van Lieshout <marcel@hmcs.nl></I></B>

<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>
