We no longer support UCD SNMP - and *do* support Net-SNMP, and have

supported it for quite a while.

SNMP
----
Wireshark can do some basic decoding of SNMP packets; it can also use the
UCD SNMP library, version 4.2.2 or later, to do more sophisticated
decoding, by reading MIB files and using the information in those files
to display OIDs and variable binding values in a friendlier fashion.
The configure script will automatically determine whether you have the
UCD SNMP library on your system, and will use it if it's version 4.2.2
or later. If you have an SNMP library but _do not_ want to have
wireshark use it, you can run configure with the "--without-ucd-snmp"

If you have an earlier version of the UCD SNMP library on your system,
the configure script will stop, reporting that it can't find the
"sprint_realloc_objid()" routine; you should either upgrade to version
4.2.4 or later, as UCD SNMP 4.2.4 fixes some potential buffer overflow
problems, or should configure with "--without-ucd-snmp".

Wireshark is still under constant development, so it is possible that you will
