npcap causing no network connectivity for a minute or two after boot on Win 7 32

["Michael D. Lawler" <mdlawler () lawlers us>]

If I use npcap 0.8-R9 everything works fine.  Versions 0.08-R10 
through 0.09-R3 have the problem.  The problem happens whether or not 
I set the npcap driver to load at boot or not.  When I use the 
problematic versions and boot I have no network connectivity for a 
minute or two (I haven't timed it down to the second) and then 
network connectivity just starts working on it's own.  If I set the 
driver not to start at boot and then once the system boots I do

net start npcap

The driver starts, but connectivity still is not available.  If I 
uninstall npcap while there is no connectivity then connectivity 
returns immediately upon the uninstall.  My guess is that something 
changed between 0.08-R9 and 0.08-R10 in the way the driver is 
registered in the registry that is causing my problem, but I don't 
know where to look further.
