[Winpcap-users] Broadcom Netxtreme & Timestamps

[Loris Degioanni]

Even if it's possible to configure the Netxtreme card to do the 
timestamping of packets, the current WinPcap driver will not take 
advantage of it, since it always uses the PC clock to timestamp the 
packets.
It will surely be interesting, however, to know if the card has this 
feature and how to enable it: maybe we can implement the support in a 
future version of winpcap.
