No Ethernet Capture Option
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.
Can you post the contents of the Wireshark Help -> About Wireshark dialog. You can highlight the text with the mouse, Ctrl + C to copy it and then paste it into a comment here.
Info:
(more)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:

So that's an Ethernet adapter that plugs into the laptop, for example a USB Ethernet adapter?
As can be clearly seen in the service status output, the npcap driver has stopped with an error. From MSDN on the error code:
Can you try starting the driver. From an elevated command prompt, enter
sc start npcap
? Please post back the output.That worked. I don't have the ethernet connection with me to test but all my other interfaces are showing up now so I think it worked. Thank you.
Do you have any ideas why it may not have started when it should have?
It seems to be an ongoing issue with npcap. Can you check that the service does start automatically after a reboot as some have had issues with that?
Could you also please raise the issue over at the nmap Github site so that they have more visibility of the issue. There may be an existing issue open for this.
I am having a similar problem. I cannot see any network adapters, only "Adapter for loopback traffic capture" and USBpcap1, USBPcap2 and USBPcap3.
I am using the same version of Wireshark as above and Npcap 0.9983 is installed. Windows version is:
Two points:
1)
sc queryx npcap
does not work for me.sc query npcap
does and it displays as shown in the earlier comment, i.e. STOPPED:2) I tried
sc start npcap
but it returns with an error:Question: When installing Npcap, I presume it is OK to leave the four checkboxes unchecked?
