Wireshark dissector usage #285
Description
Hi,
I'm unsure how the Ambit protocol dissector is supposed to appear in Wireshark.
I'm capturing USB packets to an Ambit watch and the basic USB dissection (Frame, URB, HID Data, etc.) are shown, but nothing for the Ambit protocol.
The plugin ambit.so is listed as a dissector under Help -> About Wireshark -> Plugins, so it seems to be installed ok.
Are there additional steps for correct usage beyond installing the plugin?
Versions:
- openambit built from source.
- Wireshark Version 3.4.10
- Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
- Ambit 2s and Ambit 3 peak.
Just a note, the install procedure says to install to ~/.wireshark/plugins/ but I found the file needs to go at ~/.wireshark/.local/lib/wireshark/plugins/3.4/epan/ambit.so (discovered with Help -> About Wireshark -> Folders).
If the file is also symlinked to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wireshark/plugins/3.4/epan/ambit.so then at startup Wireshark pops up a dialog saying "The plugin 'ambit.so' was found in multiple directories."
I've also asked about this at ask.wireshark.org.
