You will almost certainly need to 1. remove the old dissector from anywhere it
might be and 2. install the new one.
Here's I did in Mininet's install.sh script for Ubuntu to install the new one
(YMMV since this is taken out of context, but the basic procedure should be the
same):
function wireshark {
echo "Installing Wireshark dissector..."
sudo apt-get install -y wireshark libgtk2.0-dev
if [ "$DIST" = "Ubuntu" ] && [ "$RELEASE" != "10.04" ]; then
# Install newer version
sudo apt-get install -y scons mercurial libglib2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libwiretap-dev libwireshark-dev
cd ~
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/onlab/of-dissector
cd of-dissector/src
export WIRESHARK=/usr/include/wireshark
scons
# libwireshark0/ on 11.04; libwireshark1/ on later
WSDIR=`ls -d /usr/lib/wireshark/libwireshark* | head -1`
WSPLUGDIR=$WSDIR/plugins/
sudo cp openflow.so $WSPLUGDIR
echo "Copied openflow plugin to $WSPLUGDIR"
else
# Install older version from reference source
cd ~/openflow/utilities/wireshark_dissectors/openflow
make
sudo make install
fi
# Copy coloring rules: OF is white-on-blue:
mkdir -p ~/.wireshark
cp ~/mininet/util/colorfilters ~/.wireshark
}
