The packets are timestamped when they are received by the WinPcap 
capture driver, whose place in the OS is shortly described at 
http://www.winpcap.org/docs/docs31/html/group__NPF.html.

Essentially, the timestamp is associated with the packet after it's 
being copied to the PC memory and when its arrival is signaled to the 
protocols.
