If Wireshark is started with -i option it does not set wanted interface if the interface is a pipe

Hi,
I received this report from an internal user, does anyone know what have been changed?


When Wireshark is started with -i option it does not set wanted interface if the interface is a pipe

... has one script that first creates named pipe and then starts Wireshark on that interface:
serv308 [13:45] [/tmp] -> ps -ef | grep xxxx | grep pipe
xxxx  15565 15512  0 13:08 ?        00:00:16 /app/vbuild/ wireshark -i /tmp/pipe_15512

pipie_15512 is not shown in interface list and I consider this as a problem, can you please advise?

I used Interface Management to manually create new interface (/tmp/pipie_15512) and verified if decoding is working as 
expected. And I can say it is.


Regards
Anders
