See details at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=560325 ---------- Needing to dismiss popup windows each time Wireshark is started is obviously a non-starter. :) So; What should be done ?? (I know zilch about SNMP MIBS). BillI wanted to commit the attached patch, but I realized, that preferences are read _after_ loading the SMI modules. :-( Could we read prefs earlier, maybe twice? Cheers, Balint
I also asked Vincent about a potentially better workaround [1]. We can remove the buggy(?) MIBs from the default list of MIBs to be loaded, but it would not help users with older preferences file. :-( I can turn the popup to a debug message, but silently skipping the modules does not seem to be a good idea.
