Drivers that can’t be started and stopped at will are things that are always processing stuff, but if your virtual app isn’t running then it isn’t processing stuff and no other app is going to trigger it to do work either, then maybe we can start/stop it at will. You see, most of the drivers associated with a user mode app that you want to virtualize can actually be started and stopped at will. We can’t virtualize stuff running inside the kernel with App-V, but we can virtualize the control, which is what I will demonstrate in this blog post. Typically delivered as a “.sys” file, it sometimes is also delivered with an inf file that explains how to install it. Backgroundįirst, you need an app that has a device driver associated with it that you can virtualize if you deploy the driver separately.īut what is a driver? A specialized piece of software that runs inside the kernel.
The driver isn’t really virtualized, I just make it only exist when it needs to and then goes away so that other software doesn’t know that it is there. Today I created my first Virtual Device Driver with App-V!!!! All of the pieces were right there in front of me for a while, but it didn’t click until today. I can't find how Wireshark is initializing any different than I am, although their code is kind of hard to follow because of all the conditional enable/disable blocks.I’m not sure why I never thought of this before. I found Wireshark stops capturing after pcap_finalldevs_ex or pcap_open_live is called. I can have both active at the same time, but my application needs to start capturing first. Update: I noticed when my application exited, it also stopped the capture on Wireshark. Of course, Wireshark uses WinPcap itself, but I cannot figure out what Wireshark is doing to make this work.
None of the other types seemed relevant for me. I've also tried calling pcap_set_datalink after pcap_open to set the link type to both DLT_EN10MB (no change) and DLT_RAW (function returns error). Both will show the random office ethernet traffic when connected to that network, without the assist from Wireshark. Both interfaces connected the to AVB network do not return frames until I start monitoring in Wireshark on that interface. I've tried this on two interfaces, the built in Intel I218-LM and a cheapo Ethernet-To-USB dongle. I opened up Wireshark, and started monitoring on that interface - and there, my program starts to receive packets. Each call to pcap_next_ex is returning 0, indicating that no packets have been received. I've installed WinPcap, and started with the most basic example. The only thing happening on that network is that a device is spitting out ieee1722/AVB frames. I'm trying to collect level 2 packets on my ethernet network.
