This feature has a bug, at least on the machine a cow-orker of mine
tried today.

If you set the interface in the capture preferences dialog before
starting any capture to "Realtek 8139-series PCI NIC", you will
see the name of the card in the Start capture window until the
first space character, "Realtek". Starting a capture will fail,
because the name is incorrect.

Network card name: Realtek 8139-series PCI NIC
Interface name in Start capture window: Realtek
