Perhaps the developers at Network Associates, Wildpackets, etc.  have
figured out a way to get looped-back packets from NDIS drivers - or get
them using some mechanism other than the NDIS mechanisms - but the
WinPcap developers haven't.  It might be that the way to get those
packets isn't documented by Microsoft.
