Re: Extcap

[Roland Knall <rknall () gmail com>]

Hi

2 suggestions for you. First, is you initiate extcap via console, do you
run it as root? And is wireshark running as non-root? If yo, you might need
capture privileges as suggested by the wireshark wiki page. Second, yes the
directories are not very intuitive. Usually if you run it from a build, it
will use run/extcap . If you run it from an install, it will use the
/usr/local/lib or /usr/lib/... paths.

Have you tried putting it in run/extcap? Also, please ensure that the
script is executable.

If everything fails, you could create a small script in each directory with
basically the following content:

#!/bin/sh

pwd > /tmp/path.txt

and read out the path, extcap will execute the script, but do nothing, as
it will not find the correct output.

regards,
Roland
