Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Display Filter for Physical address of a Wireless adapter?

["Vinay Chilakamarri" <vinay.chilakamarri@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

seems like the Wireshark is ignoring the dislpay argument. I tried this with wireshrak:

wireshark -f "udp port 37112"   -R"wlan.addr==00:w3:d2:90:4c:05" -i2 -k

and its displays all packets(without filtering the ones based on the mac i gave), where as 

tshark -f "udp port 37112"   -R"wlan.addr==00:w3:d2:90:4c:05" -i2 

works just fine(it filters the packets based on the mac). Also I observed that when I apply the display filter after wireshark gui came up, it works... any clue on whats wrong with the above command?

Thanks.

Hey i figured it. For those who are curious to know, this _expression_ does it: wlan.addr==xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

Hi,

I am trying to filter the packets that I captured ( from TZSP protocol) based on the physical address of a Wireless Adapter. Can anyone point me to the command line argument available for doing this? Right now my command looks something like this:

wireshark -f "udp port 37112" -i2 -k

I read that -R is for display filter but I am not sure what _expression_ does the job. Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
