(on wireshark 0.99.4) I was looking at the results from the Capture->Interface statistics display and the information I get from _my_ embedded system, and I thought I had an error, but I don't think I do...
In ./gtk/capture_if_dlg.c: update_if() the comments talks about the differences between wpcap and regular pcap, where wpcap only sends delta statistics and pcap sends stats since the beginning of the session. Since I'm using/doing regular-pcap, I send stats accumulated since the start of the session on each stats request. The Capture->Interface statistics display however shows two pieces of info: packets and packets/sec. But what I see is that the packets/sec column is showing the 'total # of packets to date' and the packets column is adding the other column in on every sample. I also see the same symptoms when running the stock wireshark (0.99.4) on Fedora Core 6. Its as if its using the wpcap algorithm. But doing a debug trace shows thats not the case. I say the #ifdef Win32 (at line 247) is backwards and should be #ifndef instead! Yup! Just tested that on my Fedora box, and the stats look correct now!
