Unable to get MAC address of PcapNetworkInterface on windows

[maffoo]

I'd like to be able to find the MAC address of a PcapNetworkInterface on windows, but getLinkLayerAddresses returns an empty array. Is there any way to make this work, maybe by configuring something in the os, or winpcap, or pcap4j?

I am able to find MAC addresses using the java.net.NetworkInterface class, however the list of network interfaces enumerated by that class does not line up with what is given by Pcaps.findAllDevs(), so there's no reliable way I can see to get the right MAC address with the right pcap network interface (both the name and description fields are different in the two classes).

Any thoughts about how to reliably get MAC addresses for pcap devices on windows?

I will try to enhance Pcap4J to retrieve MAC addresses on Windows.

I implemented it.
Please download the snapshot build if you want to try it.

Confirmed that this works for us on windows. Thanks for the quick fix! When do you plan to release 1.6.2?

I will release it soon, this weekend or next week.
