Description

In the Mingw build (a version or two ago) no escapes were needed to specify the network interface, but the cygwin builds require them when using the NIC UUID (not the IP). Actually even when using IP it "fails" at first, but somehow goes on:

You can see that the backslashes are missing as well as the curly braces, but escaping them again and it works, I guess this fails at first too... ( -i \\Device\\NPF_\{BF708D28-C021-405D-B63A-9B0DF8BB586A\} )

"..Actually even when using IP it "fails" at first..." - on this particular part, it works fine with my tests (never fails).

What I meant was:
[4716] 10/11/2011 -- 16:13:42 - (runmode-pcap.c:123) <Info> (ParsePcapConfig) -- Unable to find pcap config for interface \Device\NPF_{BF708D28-C021-405D-B63A-9B0DF8BB586A}, using default value

Says unable to find the interface, then the very next line says it does find the interface, however the first "error" is in runmode-pcap.c and the non-error is from source-pcap.c. It could be expected, I just wanted to clarify what I meant about "failed"

Shell removes the backslash, passing us the string without them.
