Hi,
I am currently using Ethereal to capture packets when my (windows) laptop is connected to my mobile phone. I had to install driver s/w before the phone could communicate with the laptop (over USB). My question is : when Ethereal captures the packets, where is it capturing them? Below the phone driver (e.g. between the driver and the USB port) or above the driver s/w? 


This is really a WinPcap question, you may ask that team about it.
What I would guess is that WinPcap is capturing "high above" the USB driver, at the NDIS network level.
