Dear Mentors:
                  My name is Salman Javaid, and I am a graduate student in Electrical Engineering. Is there a possibility that I can propose a project? If yes, then currently there is no support for USB Dongles in Wireshark for Windows. As far as I know, from winpcap 3.1 the support for Point to Point protocols was dropped, and since USB Dongles are perceived as PPP devices, Wireshark doesn't capture the packets.

I will be absolutely grateful for a response.


Best Regards,
Salman Javaid
