Hello,

I use Ethereal with Windows 98 and my PC has two ethernet network cards of the
same manufacturer installed. If I want to capture frames (capture/start) there
are two interfaces displayed but with identical names (E100B-100). I cannot
select the second interface (with has the same name as the first interface).
Only choosing the first interface is allowed. That means that I cannot trace
with the second interface.
My configuration: Windows 98;
Ethereal Version 0.8.8 compiled with GTK+ 1.3.0, with lipcap 0.4a6, without
libz, without SNMP.

With kind regards

Johannes Hennecke
