You may check the changes, as I had to apply the patch by hand. Sorry, but I completely misunderstood you. The direction is to use dumpcap in tshark as well. The direction is therefore to use as much of the capture_loop code in tshark as reasonably possible. BTW: The mkfifo command isn't available on Win32 (even on cygwin), so I made this test configurable in config.sh.
