Issuse with the Winformexample SharpPcap Addapter

Question

How do I refresh the list of adapters in C#?

Say the following happens:

• List device and I see the device.
• I unplug and replug in WITHOUT starting the software.

• the device changes from: \\.\airpcap00 AirPcap USB wireless capture adapter nr. 00 to \\.\airpcap01 AirPcap USB wireless capture adapter nr. 01

• but the list of devices still seems to show: \\.\airpcap00 AirPcap USB wireless capture adapter nr. 00

How do I refresh the device to show the correct list?

Answer 1

Use WinPcapDeviceList.Instance.Refresh() or AirPcapDeviceList or LibPcapDeviceList to refresh the list.
