I'm not able to add information about incompatibilities with McAfee 
firewall. We recently fixed a bug in WinPcap that could have caused 
packets coming to the tap in two separate buffers instead of one 
(several antivirus programs do that) to be wrongly filtered. This, 
however, should only cause good packets to be dropped by the driver, not 
corruption.

Regarding compatibilities, it would probably be nice to have on 
winpcap.org a page like 
http://www.micro-logix.com/WinPcap/Supported.asp, but for 
firewall/packet filters/VPN software compatibility.
