[Ethereal-users] How does Ethereal interact with Fedora Core?

["Michael Cobb" <mcobb@xxxxxxx>]

Can anyone explain to me how Ethereal relates to Fedora? At what OS level is displaying a capture from? I’m not a developer, but need to be certain that packets displayed by Ethereal are indeed being presented from the OS to an application that is running.

 

I am currently sniffing and seeing the packets in Ethereal. However the developer of the application has inserted debugging code to display when it receives those packets, but it does not acknowledge receiving them. I need to determine if this means the problem is OS related or application related.
