WinPcap grab the description that the OS provides for any adapter, under the
registry key
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318
}. In my opnion, if the name under this key is "NDIS 5.0 driver", it is
possible that
- the NIC driver's creator gave that name to its driver, probably letting it
uncganged from a DDK sample
- the OS does something "strange" with that device name, for example because
some NDIS intermediate driver is installed.In both cases, I think that the problem isn't directly related to WinPcap, therefore it's difficult to solve at its level.
