When I open Ethereal all I see is the generic dial up interface.

As it notes, this is probably a WinPcap issue.


How can I add new ones?
You can't. Ethereal just shows the interfaces that WinPcap tells it about; it doesn't have its own notion of what interfaces exist. (It does its capturing through WinPcap, so if WinPcap doesn't know about an interface, Ethereal can't capture on it.)
