I'm running Wireshark 1.0.2, on 32-bit Fedora 8.
While capturing, this message occasionally appears in a pop-up window,
stopping the capture:
Error while receiving packets: recvfrom: Bad address
When this happens, the capture is forcefully stopped, but Wireshark
remains running. It does not crash. If I save my capture, and begin
the capture again, it works. The error will happen again a short
while later, though. This can be repeated indefinitely.
This is really more of a wireshark-users than a wireshark-dev question
- but it's really a libpcap question, as the recvfrom() getting EFAULT
is in libpcap, not Wireshark (Wireshark relies on libpcap/WinPcap for
packet capture).
Does it happen if you capture with tcpdump?
What do "dumpcap -v" and "tcpdump -h" print?
