Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Problems With Integrating our device

["Varuna De Silva" <varunax@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

We have had several problems when trying to integrate our device 
with wireshark. But as its our original effort there are certain problems
we came across.

When we run wireshark with our own wpcap.dll

 when our device is 
attached to the USB port, and when we try to start our capture,
through capture->interfaces, in windows we get an error saying
'dumpcap needs to be closed', and there after we cannot see any 
device in the interfaces list. 

In integrating our device we have written, pcap-muwis.c file. 
with a muwis_open_live() function that returns a pcap_t structure.
Now we have to call this function from pcap_open_live() in 
pcap-win32.c?

#ifdef HAVE_USB     
        if (strstr(device, "muwis")) {
         return muwis_open_live(device, snaplen, promisc, to_ms, ebuf);
        }
#endif

What is this dumpcap ? Or why this is the problem that we face?
Please tell us of any experiences?

Thanks 

Varuna
