Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] HAVE_AIRPDCAP

Hi Tomas,
HAVE_AIRPDCAP is a define, used to compile Wireshark with the support of WPA
and WPA2.
It is defined in 3 makefiles: \Makefile.nmake,
\epan\dissectors\Makefile.nmake, \gtk\Makefile.nmake (surely we can define
it only once as we did for HAVE_AIRPCAP, for example).

This define is not (well, it should not be...) correlated to HAVE_AIRPCAP,
used to support the AirPcap device.

The problem in packet-ieee80211.c is the code at line 77. Before patching
that code, you can modify packet-ieee80211.c by moving the two includes
before the #ifdef, thus:

#include <airpcap.h>
#include <airpcap_loader.h>
#ifndef HAVE_AIRPCAP
/* XXX - This is probably a bit much */
#define MAX_ENCRYPTION_KEYS 64
#endif

Those two #includes are needed because of some #defines and macros (such
as maximum number of decryption keys, struct used to describe decryption keys and so on...) that Wireshark and AirPcap 'share'. Those structs and defines are used by the WPA/WPA2 decryption stuff, and should be included even if HAVE_AIRPCAP
(AirPcap adapter support) is not defined.

We will try to remove AirPcap dependency from code used with HAVE_AIRPDCAP
(WPA/WPA2 decryption) as soon as possible.

Hello,

what is the purpose of HAVE_AIRPDCAP macro?
It is always defined in all makefile.nmake files regardless AirPcap is
available or not.
Unfortunately I can not compile packet-ieee80211.c file on Windows
without AirPcap.

Any suggestions?
