On Windows, with recent versions of Ethereal, the list in the combo box
should give a human-readable description of the interface; again, that
should help if the interfaces are different types of cards.


There is a slight bug with this in Ethereal 0.9.5, at least on Win2000.
The first time the Capture dialog box is opened after starting Ethereal it does show the human-readable form. The second and subsequent times it shows the '\Device\Packet...' form. The drop-down list always shows the human readable form.
