Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] bug report: ** ERROR **: file proto.c: line 1653 ...
Hi,
I have encountered what may be a bug with ethereal-current (compiled
from CVS on Feb 19 2002).
Attempting to view an 802.11 authentication packet results in the
following error:
[bdy@localhost ~/sniffs]$ ethereal
** ERROR **: file proto.c: line 1653 (alloc_field_info): assertion failed: (hfinfo->type == FT_PROTOCOL || hfinfo->type == FT_NONE || hfinfo->type == FT_BYTES || hfinfo->type == FT_STRING)
aborting...
Abort
[bdy@localhost ~/sniffs]$
Procedure: open attached trace file, attempt to view packets 19 or 20.
The trace file was captured using the same version of ethereal, and
is a trace of packets between a Linksys WAP11 AP, and a Lucent
WaveLAN NIC.
System is running RedHat 7.2 with 2.4.16 kernel:
[bdy@localhost ~]$ uname -a
