SharpPcap tries to get a list of network Interfaces with method call:
NetworkInterface[] nics = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();

Result is endless loop of:
"Got a bad hardware address length for an AF_PACKET 16 8"


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.NetworkInterface[] nics = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
endless loop of:
"Got a bad hardware address length for an AF_PACKET 16 8"

Expected Results:  
Array of NetworkInterface

possible fix is

file:
/mono-2.6.3/mcs/class/System/System.Net.NetworkInformation/NetworkInterface.cs

code:
   272. if (((int)sockaddrll.sll_halen) > sockaddrll.sll_addr.Length){
   273. Console.Error.WriteLine ("Got a bad hardware address length for an
AF_PACKET {0} {1}", sockaddrll.sll_halen, sockaddrll.sll_addr.Length);
++ 274. next = addr.ifa_next;
   275. continue;
   278. }
