Hi Yang,

I guess the corresponding miniport should be PPPoE but I cannot verify it as I do not have such device. I was asking just in case as this is a question we have from time to time on http://ask.wireshark.org.

But I do have access to a MBIM (USB class used to control wireless modems starting from Windows 8) which is not listed by WinPcap either (for now I'm using USBPcap to capture the traffic).
According to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff557177(v=vs.85).as pu it should be listed as a WWAN (or MB) miniport driver. Do you see such miniport or only the WAN family? Eventually I could give it a try if you can add its support.

Later tonight I will try Nmap on a Windows 8.1 x64 box and see whether I can reproduce the issue reported by Tyson.

Pascal.

And I can see the loopback traffic using Wireshark now (See the attached pic). It seems to still have problems, like the "(no response found!)" in the ICMPv6 packets (ping ::1) in the pic. I don't know why Wireshark shows like this, perhaps you guys can provide me a clue.
