Where would we explicitly add the new interface ba0 in Ethereal? 
We looked under:

there as well, but there is no option to add interfaces there.
You don't add interfaces, you capture on them. It's not as if Ethereal has a list of interfaces and will only let you capture on the interfaces in the list, so that you have to add an interface to the list if it's not in the list and you want to capture on it.
If you select the "Options" item from the "Capture" menu, you get a window that lets you set various capture options, including the interface on which to capture. The interface name is a combo box - you can select from the list, or you can type whatever you want, including "ba0". Then click "Start" to start a capture with those options.
