Executive Summary
We want to try to port WireShark and see what we could get working on the BeagleBone.

We were able to put the source code on the bone and run the autogen.sh script. We launched the configure script and multiple dependencies were discovered and we're trying to figure out ways to resolve those dependencies.

So far WireShark itself isn't working due to the lack of dependency resolution.

The level of depth of this project varies at it really depends on how fast we can get it ported and what else we could do if time is permitting. We're running into quite a few issues despite some quick progress. We'll see what happens over time.

Packaging
If you have hardware, consider Small Build, Big Execuition for ideas on the final packaging.
