For what it’s worth, I spent part of this evening trying to get Ethereal 0.10.6 executable to work on Win XP SP2. The regular downloaded version of WinPCap 3.0 did not play well. Ethereal could not find any network adapters (blamed WinPCap). When I uninstalled WinPCap 3.0 and tried the WinPCap 3.1 Beta 3, I could identify my adapters and begin capturing packets. 

Perhaps it was justified in blaming WinPcap, then. :-)

You might want to ask about the WinPcap developers about this:

and, if the problem is that WinPcap 3.0 can't handle XP SP2 but WinPcap 3.1 beta 3 can, suggest that they put this in the WinPcap FAQ.
