I want to launch ethereal from command line. I have to use the interface
option “-i”. But I am unable to do so.
I.e., because the names, at least in modern (i.e., NT 5.x) versions of
Windows are horrible ugly strings with a GUID in them, and not at all
obvious, unlike the way they are on UN*X (and somewhat on NT 4.0)?
How do we find out the interface name in Windows (in linux we say eth0).
Run "tethereal -D", which will enumerate the interfaces it knows about.
It'll list some really ugly names starting with "\Device", and should
also give a somewhat more human-readable name.
(Ideally, Ethereal would also support "-D", but, just as with "-v", we
might want to suppress GUI stuff, such as the splash screen, as those
options would just print stuff and quit. We should also support
numerical interface IDs in Ethereal's "-i" flag, as Tethereal does, so
you don't have to type the ugly name.)
