Title: wireshark crashes with null pointer dereference in kernel Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “wireshark” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I followed the following steps to get wireshark running in non-root mode: * Create wireshark group * Set permissions of dumpcap so only users in the wireshark group can run it * setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /usr/bin/dumpcap * Add my user to wireshark group * restart * open wireshark through the unity dash, and start capturing on my wireless network interface Traffic started appearing in wireshark, I applied a filter, and made a query using firefox that I expected to be caught by the filter. At this point the whole system crashed. When I brought the system back up, I checked the system logs. Here is what I got in syslog at the time of the crash: Nov 20 17:47:44 bodie kernel: [ 288.576153] device wlan0 entered promiscuous mode Nov 20 17:48:03 bodie kernel: [ 307.612283] BUG: unable to
