wireshark can not open pcap file

0

I downloaded wireshark source code and built it successfully. Then I try to open an exist pcap file with wireshark.exe. It shows error"The file C:\source\snep_p2p_trace.pcap is a capture for a network type that Wireshark doesn't support.(pcap:network type 245 unknown or unsupported)".

According to the official list of link-layer header type values, 245 is LINKTYPE_NFC_LLCP, which is supported by Wireshark 1.8 and 1.10, but not by Wireshark 1.6. You will need to install Wireshark 1.8 or later in order to read that file.
