Hello,

I recently purchased a new laptop and it dosen't have an ethernet port. But I have an ethernet adapter.

When I launch wireshark I do not see an ethernet option for capturing just Adapter for loopback traffic capture and USPpcap1.

What's also interesting is I just disconnected the ethernet to see what would show up if I connect wirelessly and I still only see the two options I mentioned above, no wireless capture option.

I'm on version 3.0.6.

Any suggestions to what I can do to get the ethernet and wireless options to appear?

Thank you.

So you're running on Windows using npcap 0.9983.

You've likely hit an npcap issue where the service hasn't started. From a command prompt can you type the following and then paste the output back here:

sc queryex npcap

I recently purchased a new laptop and it dosen't have an ethernet port. But I have an ethernet adapter.

So that's an Ethernet adapter that plugs into the laptop, for example a USB Ethernet adapter?
