That's correct. I was incorrect before. My eth0 interface doesn't show up
in the list.  You can type it in, though, and it'll work.

Unfortunately for me, most of the dissectors stop working if there's a
VLAN tag in the packet, so looking at the raw interface isn't much use
except for debugging VLAN related problems.

I may be wrong about the dissectors. It appears that the vlan patch for
linux may be causing some problems.
