[Winpcap-users] Re: breaking out of a pcap_next_ex() loop

[Gubrush .]

Hi

It was a little late on friday for me as well. Didnt realize what he did. 
Except pcap_breakloop is working as intended for my use.

I didn't know pcap_breakloop was bad, if it is, then why is it there? :)

It solves my problems of stopping captures when I want them to stop.
