+ __________________________________________________________________
+
+Getting Wireshark
+
+ Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
+ [2]https://www.wireshark.org/download.html.
+
+ Vendor-supplied Packages
+
+ Most Linux and Unix vendors supply their own Wireshark packages. You
+ can usually install or upgrade Wireshark using the package management
+ system specific to that platform. A list of third-party packages can be
+ found on the [3]download page on the Wireshark web site.
+ __________________________________________________________________
+
+File Locations
+
+ Wireshark and TShark look in several different locations for preference
+ files, plugins, SNMP MIBS, and RADIUS dictionaries. These locations
+ vary from platform to platform. You can use About->Folders to find the
+ default locations on your system.
+ __________________________________________________________________
+
+Known Problems
+
+ Dumpcap might not quit if Wireshark or TShark crashes. ([4]Bug 1419)
+
+ The BER dissector might infinitely loop. ([5]Bug 1516)
+
+ Capture filters aren't applied when capturing from named pipes. ([6]Bug
+ 1814)
+
+ Filtering tshark captures with read filters (-R) no longer works.
+ ([7]Bug 2234)
