I compiled Wireshark from source code on my debian 7 a few days ago and installed it. I can't surf internet while Wireshark is running. Even pinging the gateway returns a "Destination unreachable" error. But I don't have this issue on Windows. I tried to change capture modes and this didn't work either. Any idea how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance. The following is what wireshark --version returns.

One Answer:
Looks more like a bug report to take over to http://bugs.wireshark.org to me. Instead of quoting version information you should give more details about what your network setup is like. Are you using a cable ethernet connection or Wifi? What kind of network cards do you use? I guess you're running a wireless connector, in which case capturing will most likely set your card to "receive only" - which will then lead to no connectivity. Windows will not allow you to set monitor mode which may be the reason why you can still use the card with that OS. answered 23 Jun '13, 10:20  Jasper ♦♦ |
Thank you for your reply.I use wifi.My network cards is "Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2200".
That's what I thought. You need to use a second card to keep Wireless connectivity on Linux while running monitor mode on the first one, because it will be put into receive-only mode.
well,I still can't surf internet even if I change capture mode to promiscuous mode.Last night,I tried to install a previous version (1.8),this one works pretty well.
There is no "promiscuouos" mode for wireless NICs, you are either in monitor mode or managed mode where you can have an association to a specific wireless AP. How did you capture in 1.8 if you said it is "working"
