Wireshark · Ethereal-users: Re: [Ethereal-users] Ethereal conflict with Airport card on MacOS X

[Michael Tuexen <Michael.Tuexen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Avram,

I'm reading my mail over using my Airport card right now while
Ethereal is capturing the traffic. This means I can not reproduce
the behavior you are describing. I'm using MacOS X 10.1.3 and XTools 
1.0.4
as XServer. What are you using?

Best regards
Michael
