How to add patch for Wireshark ?

leon.zcom · 05-11-2009, 04:27 AM

Dear all,

Recently I am working on the open802.11s mesh source code. So I want to use Wireshark to capture the wireless packet. But Wireshark should add a patch for 802.11s protocol.

So I downloaded the patch wireshark-1.0.2-mesh-support-0.2.1.patch, but I don't know how to add the patch, can somebody help me ??

By the way, my working platform is ubuntu 8.10, wireshark 1.0.3 is installed through apt-get install command.

You'll need the wirewhark sources in order to do what you want and not the precompiled Ubuntu package
If you want to do it, d/l the source code, extract it, change to that directory and run:

Code:

patch -p0 < /path/to/wireshark-1.0.2-mesh-support-0.2.1.patch

Read the patch manpage if the above doesn't work.
After that you should go the usual way to build from source: ./configure, make, make install
