Which version of WinPcap are you using?
There was a fix related to IPv6 address listing in the latest beta version
of WinPcap (4.1beta5). Can you please check if the bug shows up in that
version as well?
Have a nice day

Yes, sorry for not being specific, the physical interface is ethernet.
The ethernet card always shows up in the capture interface dialog box.
When the tcp/ipv4 stack is enabled, the ipv4 ip address for my

shown. When the tcp/ipv4 stack is disabled, but the tcp/ipv6 is
enabled,
the ip address is listed as unknown. I'm interpreting this as
Wireshark
not recognizing the ipv6 interface for some reason.
Not necessarily. It could be that, for example, WinPcap can't get the
IPv6 address for the interface and supply it to Wireshark (Wireshark
depends on libpcap/WinPcap to do a lot of the work of dealing with
network adapters). Gianluca?
