[chirp_devel] Linux USB sniffing

Thanks for the reply Tony.
TShark version is 2.6.8.
Yes, I have to remove the space between the dash and the i in the
start_trace command. I also have to 'sudo modprobe usbmon' and 'touch
cap.pcap'  before starting.
(time goes by)
I was trying to capture a read from the radio. If I run tidy on this data
to stdout I can see where the fault takes place in the tsv but I don't know
why.
I had success sniffing a write to the radio and I now have a nice
radiotrace file.
What is the next step? I will make some subtle changes and figure out how
the memories are laid out.
