Hi,
This is an interesting snippet from the dissecor source code
8<-----------------
* The plugin operates both offline with libpcap files and online on supported
* platforms. Live dissection is currently available for Linux-IrDA
* (irda.sourceforge.net) and for Windows if the Linux-IrDA port IrCOMM2k
* (www.ircomm2k.de) is installed.
Ulf Lamping added that to the page on IrDA capture on the Ethereal Wiki:
http://wiki.ethereal.com/CaptureSetup/IrDA
and I added some additional links - it appears that, on Windows, you
need to have the IrCOMM2K driver installed, as well as a patched version
of WinPcap.
Jan, does the patched version of WinPcap require the IrCOMM2K driver to
be installed even if you're *not* going to capture on an IrDA device?
If not, it might be worth trying to get the patches to WinPcap into the
main WinPcap release, just as there's DAG-card support in it, so that
users don't have to install a patched WinPcap to capture on IrDA
interfaces (the patched version is based on WinPcap 3.1 beta 3, but the
current version of WinPcap is the final 3.1 release).
