[uracoli-devel] Sniffer issue under Windows

[Axel Wachtler]

Hallo all,

who is using the new sniffer.py on Windows,
that pipelines the data over stdout to wireshark
will encounter the message:

"Frame xxxx to long (<very long number> bytes)"

This can be solved with:

python -u sniffer.py -p COM9 | wireshark -ki -

The Python option -u unbuffers stdout and this
fixes the above issue.

The issue I did never see in Linux, but one user
reported that he saw it if he runs the sniffer in
a virtual Linux hosted on a Windows box.

Happy sniffing, Axel
