ethers file with v2.2.7-0-g1861a96

0

v2.2.7-0-g1861a96 is not using ethers file from either the Personal configuration Location or System Location. Under Preferences | Appearance | Name Resolution | Resolve MAC addresses is selected. Is this a known issue or am I missing something?

Got mine in ~/.wireshark/ethers working just fine. Is that what you have?

Personal configuration C:\Users\339472\AppData\Roaming\Wireshark\

System C:\Program Files\Wireshark

This is where the "About Wireshark" Folders tab shows that the ethers file should exist.

I have it in ~/.wireshark/ethers, but it's not working for me? Reloading wireshark didn't work either

so I assume you're not running Wireshark as root, and put the ethers file in your user home directory?
