Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] why is it so difficult to stop capturing with wireshark 1.6.10 in fedora 16

[bart sikkes <b.sikkes@xxxxxxxxx>]

hello,

does this happen when you are capturing a under high traffic load? i
have had the same experience with windows systems when the traffic
load was very high.

it might be an option to capture via tcpdump or set a maximum amount
of traffic before the capture automatically stops.
