On a WInXP computer, I need to programatically read the results of tshark -D and identify the port I want to use based on the description. Unfortunately the board is is a dual port card, so the second port is identified with (Intel(R)... #2), but tshark does not display the #2. Any suggestions, or is this a change request. asked 18 Apr '13, 08:56  mictalley |
One Answer:
As I mentioned in the answer to the following question, you can use
Then use the IP address of the interface to identify the second port of the nic. Regards answered 18 Apr '13, 10:49  Kurt Knochner ♦ edited 18 Apr '13, 10:53 |
Thanks, works great - and this is better than the card description since the computer will have a fixed IP regardless of which manufacturer's card is installed.
