As of today, WinPcap 4.0 is available in the download section of the
WinPcap website, http://www.winpcap.org/install/ .
This software release contains major improvements to the kernel
driver, which has been thoroughly reviewed (and partially rewritten).
As a result, WinPcap 4.0 is extremely more reliable and stable than
previous versions!
The 4.0 version also adds the long awaited stable support for x64
platforms, including Windows XP and the upcoming Vista.
Finally, this release includes support for the CACE Technologies
Wireless AirPcap Adapters, the first open and affordable solution for
Wi-Fi capture on the Windows platform.
Full details of the changes can be found in the change log attached at
the end of this message.
As always, we profoundly thank all the users that tested the
development versions of WinPcap 4.0, it would not have been possible
without your help and precious suggestions. Thanks!
