LXR Cross Referencer to read linux kernel source code

LXR Cross Referencer

This is the best place to refer one who like to know about linux kernel. http://lxr.free-electrons.com/ LXR Cross Referencer, usually known as LXR, is a general-purpose source code indexer and cross-referencer that provides web-based browsing of source code, with links to the definition and usage of any identifier.

I also found the following site is very helpful to start with linux kernels http://kernelnewbies.org/FirstKernelPatch

Installed wireshark for Networking package analysis

WIRESHARK

Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer. This is actually nice tool which gives opportunity to analyze  and understand different network layers. Each packet  traffic is diplayed when we start browsing a website.Its very easy to install in Ubuntu using 'Ubuntu Software center'. After installing I used the command and changed to root. I am not sure any alternative way for getting my 'wlan0' wifi internet without changing to root.

sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common

started wireshark with 'sudo wireshark'
