WlanHelper (1.71) always fails for commends which invoke functions from Packet.dll with the error message
Error: makeOIDRequest::My_PacketOpenAdapter(\Device\NPCAP\{2f39942d-8094-45e2-9909-cce31258d699}) error 0x7b (to use this function, you need to check the "Support raw 802.11 traffic" option when installing Npcap)
.The failure occurs in
NpcapGetAdapterID
which expects the adapter name to start with\Device\NPF_
, whereas WlanHelper constructs the name passed to Packet.dll with the prefix\Device\NPCAP\
.
