Correct.  Tethereal supports "-D", to list interfaces in a numbered
list, and supports using the number from that list in the "-i" option;
Ethereal doesn't, so you have to specify an interface name, not an
interface number.

If somebody wants that, they should copy the code to support numerical
arguments to "-i",, *AND* the code for the "-D" option, from Tethereal
to Ethereal.
