I created a package file with the routeros, downloaded it via ftp and imported it to wireshark. i get wired error corrupt file errors. i tryed a few other programs and get the same result.
the changelog for 3.0beta7 states that: fixed wireless sniffer file format;
i have an rb433 with the newest routeros version installed (i think)
[admin@MikroTik] /system package> print
Flags: X - disabled

Please, paste the exact command, which was used to create sniffer file.
Do you have the latest wireshark version ?

sure thing
i got the latest wireshark version
the error i get when opening the sniffer file is:
The capture file appears to be damaged or corrupt.
(pcap: File has 3405774848-byte packet, bigger then the maximum of 65535)
the file size is only 88KB
here are the sniffer settings i used
[admin@MikroTik] /interface wireless sniffer> print
multiple-channels: no
channel-time: 200ms
only-headers: no
receive-errors: no
memory-limit: 100
file-name: "test04"
file-limit: 10000
streaming-enabled: no
streaming-server: 192.168.30.127
streaming-max-rate: 0
[admin@MikroTik] /interface wireless sniffer> sniff
interface: wlan2
processed-packets: 720
file-size: 88869
file-saved-packets: 720
file-over-limit-packets: 0
memory-size: 100365
memory-saved-packets: 720
memory-over-limit-packets: 0
real-file-limit: 10000
real-memory-limit: 100
end then i used 'q' for quit
i attached the sniffer file, (it doesnt contain any private information)
test4.txt is the original file strait from the routerboard, i just added .txt so i could upload it
thank you for your help
