Not sure which version supports it but there is: tshark -h

:

-q be more quiet on stdout (e.g. when using statistics)

-Q only log true errors to stderr (quieter than -q)

So this....sorta worked. Looked at the r51227 and recompiled after making the changes to tshark.c. Now EVERY packet gets the packet count...which I guess is better then getting them sporadically.

How are you running tshark? Can you post your tshark command-line?

sudo tshark -t ad -n -i eth1 ip and host 192.168.1.1

This gets me a packet count on every line.

You can control what is displayed via tshark's -T fields options or through the -o gui.column.format option. Run tshark -G column-formats for the various options.

Thanks...I guess that's my only option.
