I'm not sure if this actually a Wireshark problem, or a WinPcap problem, but
Wireshark is reporting my Network Interface Card description incorrectly.

Its description is erroneously being reported as:

ADMtek AN983 NDIS5 Driver (Microsoft's Packet Scheduler)

The correct description (which appears correctly in the Windows Device Manager,
and elsewhere) is:

Linksys EtherFast Integrated 10/100 CardBus PC Card(PCM200) - Packet Scheduler
Miniport

The description is correct in the Windows Device Manager, and elsewhere.

The version of Wireshark that I was running about one year ago displayed the
description correctly.  I don't know which version of Wireshark this was, as my
hard drive crashed since then.

Thank you.
