------- Comment #1 from jeff.morriss@xxxxxxxxxxx  2007-10-12 22:01 GMT -------
Wireshark requires random access to the file (if you're trying to use "-r -")
and it doesn't support capturing from stdin.  It does support capturing from a
named pipe, though.

The request to read or capture from a regular pipe is in the Wishlist:

http://wiki.wireshark.org/WishList

in the "Capturing" section currently numbered as #15.  Since it's already
there, I'm closing this bug.
