[vbox-dev] Cannot Live-capture VirtualBox network packets with Wireshark

[Alexey Eromenko]

Wireshark guys recommended me to use FIFO / named pipes.

$ mkfifo /tmp/pipe
$ VBoxManage modifyvm "my VM" --nictrace1 on
$ VBoxManage modifyvm "my VM" --nictracefile1 /tmp/pipe
$ wireshark -k -i /tmp/pipe

I get:
"Unrecognized libpcap format"

Does VBox generate pcap files correctly ?
