Re: [lwip-devel] Why pcap_findalldevs_ex()?

[address@hidden]

Oops, my fault, I searched pcapif_helper.c, not pcap_helper.c.
However, you're looking at outdated code there, which I should have 
deleted by now.

pcap_helper.c is used by pktif.c, but the win32 port now uses pcapif.c. 
The differences between those two is that the old pktif.c uses the 
(internal, mostly undocumented) pktif library that winpcap uses 
internally, while the new pcapif.c tries to only use universal pcap 
functions in order to be portable.

I've been planning to test pcapif.c on linux and then deleting the old 
pktif.c (and pcap_helper.c) afterwards... (but I guess I can delete the 
old code now since it works on win32).


Anyway, have you been facing any problems when using that code or does 
this issue only come from reading the code?

BTW: Please don't use the CVS repostory any more (since we have moved to 
git, the old CVS is not updated any more):
