True, but it still works and works quite well too in my experience (on all Windows systems that I am aware of too, including Windows 10), so there's no reason IMO to not continue using it. > Its been replaced by the new NPCap driver which uses > the NDIS 6 interfaces. I've heard of it, yes, but have never had the desire to ever try it. As I said, WinPCap 4.13 works just fine so I see no need to try messing with NPCap. > It also has support for capturing 802.11 frames in monitor mode. 802.11 frames are not 802.3 frames. Further, while I have no idea whether CTCI, LCS and/or QETH (OSA) devices currently support 802.11 frames or not, I'm seriously doubting that they do. As far as I know, CTCI, LCS and QETH (OSA) devices were (and still are?) *wired* networking devices. Thus WinPCap is the correct device driver for Hercules to use for such emulating such devices. -- "Fish" (David B.
