I will take a look at the NDIS wrapper .. Please, don't tell me I have a lot of money, that's not true, really. My motherboard is an ABIT BP6 and at the time I bought it, it costed less than more single proc motherboards. And second, I work from 7 to 7 each day and I find also some time to contribute to open source software like CYGWIN, you see things are not so simple ... Anyway I was not asking the development team to release a dual-proc version of winpcap I only wanted to know why the actual did not work ...
I will take a look at the winpcap driver source and see if I can do something, sure it is not so complicated ... Best regards Thomas, a programmer who have not so much money, spend time in free development and does not complain. PS: Don't take it bad but my opinion is that someone who bring usefull free softwares (or more generally someone who just want to give something from himself for free to others) to others should never expect or ask for money as you do, this is not my way of thinking. I have a work, I earn money, I make free software and BECAUSE it is free, I will never expect for someone to pay for it otherwise I won't do it. The interest and congratulations of people on your (my) work should be enough to be glad from what you are and what you do. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fulvio Risso" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 4:44 PM Subject: RE: [WinPcap-users] SMP support in winpcap > The behaviour of the NDIS wrapper change on SMP machines. > The behaviour of the video card doesn't change on SMP machines.
