This isn't an Ethereal problem; it's probably a problem with WinPcap,
the library and driver used by WinDump, Ethereal, Analyzer, and a number
of other network traffic processing programs, so you should send mail to
the address mentioned on the WinPcap home page:

	http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/winpcap/

I.e., send it to

	winpcap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Most of the Ethereal developers probably don't know why WinPcap doesn't
recognize some adapters on various flavors of Windows; I certainly
don't.

The WinPcap/WinDump/Analyzer developers do, I think, read some of the
Ethereal mailing lists, so they may see your problem report here, but
it's still best to send to the WinPcap list.  (For problems specific to
WinDump, send mail to

	windump@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

as the WinDump page at

	http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/windump/

indicates.)
