wpcap.dll , Source can be get from winpcap.org , When I try to
impelment it in wine, I found that I need to use the Packet32.h from
packet.dll , Which has a different license than wine(LGPL), And I am
not familar with solving license compability, Is there anyone that
know how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance
