[Winpcap-users] Re: Correct Initialization for winpcap

[matt jaffa]

So what I am really asking is all about the pcap_findalldevs call. Is this a
neccessary call or is there another call I can use? Why was pcap_lookupdev()
depracated? Is there anyway to get the default adapter, active device on the
system?

Thanks,
Matt
