Hello, I have a server running WireShark 1.12.5 w/ WinPcap 4.1.3 and it has a Napatech NT4E Adapter. When I Look at my interfaces, the only ones available are the Broadcom NIC's and not the Napatech. Is there a setting that needs to be enabled or an add-on I need to install? Any help would be greatly appreciated. asked 22 May '15, 07:43  asofo |
One Answer:
AFAIK the Napatech cards are useless without the driver package, firmware updates and a special version of the libpcap library that can work with the card. Unfortunately, Napatech does not provide any of those to anyone except licensed capture system builders/vendors. So if you got a single Napatech card from somewhere (e.g. Ebay) you got yourself a useless devices unless you can find someone who can give you the drivers and the libraries (who probably signed an NDA with Napatech to exactly prevent that kind of thing). answered 22 May '15, 09:17  Jasper ♦♦ |
