I am slowly working my way through the Wireshark Network Analysis book. I am trying to replicate the example on page 166 Chapter 5. The example figure 98 shows ethers.txt I created both files one without and one with a file extension. Both in my profiles directory. I have tried restarting Wireshark but I am unable to get Wireshark to recognize the name of my NIC.

Verify that the preference to enable MAC address resolution is enabled in the profile you're using. Do this via: answered 22 Dec '13, 10:21  cmaynard ♦♦ |
Not in 1.10.5 - I'm still on 1.10.4 but it works there ... Before updating and after

It's Checked. Still not working.
It doesn't look like the
ethersfile works in profiles. For now, try placing it in the top-level preferences directory. You may want to file a bug report for allowing separate per-profileethersfiles.
