Soe either there is no reason or the people who have reasons keep them to
themselves. As a colleague of mine encountered a device that had the
server built in and he had to fire up a windows vm just to be able to
capture I thought I'd go ahead and forward port the patch. Due to its
size it's compressed. As it is jsut the patch from winpacap, please let
me know if there are any things to change (style) to get it included.

PS: I don't care about the server, but the protocol seems to have be come a de facto standard....

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
