I would be looking for the local adapter mac addresses. Under linux with pcap and the adapters I have, ethernet and wireless, I see hardware mac addresses in pcap_if_t.addresses. I wasn't sure if there were any known cases where pcap_if_t.addresses wouldn't have the hardware mac address, like with winpcap, particular devices etc. Users have reported difficulty getting the adapter mac addresses so it seemed useful to ask the experts. > Why does it matter if this is a library for C#... > Oh, I was just giving some background.
