My *guess* would be that it doesn't, as I think current versions of WinPcap support x86-64, so the code is at least 64-bit clean. I think it has a compiler that translates the BPF filter program to machine code; that compiler supports 32-bit x86 (and there's an x86-64 version originally done for FreeBSD, which WinPcap might have picked up), but there isn't one for Itanium, so, if there's no #ifdef, you might have to disable that. (BPF still works, it just runs interpretively.) > Isn't WOW64 an option? No, because WinPcap includes kernel-mode code (because it requires it, in order to tap into the networking stack). _______________________________________________ Winpcap-users mailing list [email protected] https://www.winpcap.org/mailman/listinfo/winpcap-users
