Hello,

I have one suggestion for the developer on this list.
Why don´t you use the interface description instead of the ServiceName under
Windows2000 and maybe WinNT. You can find the registry key under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards.
The diplayed name in ethereal is the ServiceName, but the interface
description would be better. It would be very helpful to select the correct interface
for capturing the traffic.

best regards,
Hans
