Actually it looks like it is an enumeration problem stopping wireshark getting the interfaces.
tcpdump -D shows: r...@neil-laptop:/var/log# tcpdump -D 1.eth0 2.wmaster0 3.wlan0 4.any (Pseudo-device that captures on all interfaces) 5.lo tcpdump -i usb3 shows: r...@neil-laptop:/var/log# tcpdump -i usb3 tcpdump: Can't open USB bus file /sys/kernel/debug/usbmon/3t: Permission denied with kern.log showing: Apr 5 13:47:30 neil-laptop kernel: [ 3407.917155] type=1503 audit(1238935650.458:20): operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="r::" denied_mask="r::" fsuid=0 name="/dev/usbmon3" pid=5687 profile="/usr/sbin/tcpdump" Apr 5 13:47:30 neil-laptop kernel: [ 3407.917194] type=1503 audit(1238935650.458:21): operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="r::" denied_mask="r::" fsuid=0 name="/sys/kernel/debug/usbmon/3t" pid=5687 profile="/usr/sbin/tcpdump" So it looks like the facility is there - just not exposed in the user interface, nor allowed by the audit module. -- wireshark/libpcap does not support sniffing USB streams https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355613 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
