I have loaded Ubuntu 14.04.2 in VMWare Player (Free) 6.0.5 build-2443746 on Windows 8.1. The network adapter is set to NAT in the VM settings. During normal use of the Ubuntu VM it works fine. I have network and Internet access, can download software and updates, etc. However, inside of Etherape it only sees the Bluetooth adapter and not the network card.
Does anyone know what I need to do in order to make the NIC available to Etherape?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Live capture works only if launching EtherApe as root.
Assuming you're running as root, EtherApe uses pcap_findalldevs to get network adapters, i.e. it gets only the adapters usable to capture.
Can you capture with say, tcpdump ?
If capturing with tcpdump works, try to launch EtherApe with the -i option. -i forces EtherApe to use the specified network adapter.
