Hi All Can somebody point me in the correct direction for reporting this..... I have looked on the Wireshark-user mailing list (which I am just joining) but nothing is mentioned. I just received my new MBP today, and the first thing I did was install MP and selfupdate... Then installed wireshark, everything compiles fine (good job MP team). The interesting issue is that as soon as I do a "> sudo tshark -i en1" it kills my wireless association, and I have to reconnect after the capture to get back into my Apple Extreme wireless connection, all other devices on the network are unaffected. If I run Wireshark under X it has the same effect. Running " > sudo tcpdump -i en1 works fine as you would expect. When running Wireshark the wireless network dies as soon as you open a "List the available Capture Interface" window the wireless connection dies. The window shows the interface "wlt1", "ifconfig" shows the en1 as inactive. Performing an actual capture on this interface shows the 802.11 beacon frames from my AP. This is annoying as I often use Wireshark to capture on my en0 while remaining connected to my network via en1, but as soon as I open a capture dialog, my network connection drops. Has anyone else seen this on Intel Macs? Or is it perhaps a function of the drives for the "Pre-802.11n" Athereos chipset used in the newest Macs?? Thanks in advance for any help.

The Ethereal packet sniffer is changing names and getting a new home.... Wireshark. http://www.wireshark.org/
Wireshark 0.99.2 was Released Jul 17, 2006
Is anyone looking at upgrading/replacing the current Ethereal port ??
The Wireshark 0.99.2 fixes some security issues over the last ethereal 0.99.0, Revision 1 that is in the current portfile.
Is there a way of coping with a port that changes name? should there just be a new port for Wireshark. how about invalidating the old ethereal port (with a UI_message to says its been replaced by wireshark....)
The wireshark port was added 2 weeks ago....
Ethereal will get some sort of notice that wireshark exists, haven't decided how that will happen yet.
