With r54249, I see a similar issue to Martin.  A quick look with WinDbg
shows it to be in airpcap_loader.c, function test_if_on() where the boolp
member of the preference is dereferenced.  In my case it's 0xbaadf00d, i.e.
uninitialized.  I don't have time at the moment to look any further, but I
suspect this would impact all users who upgrade to this version.
