One of the things I saw with NAI Sniffer was their lower dropped

to tethereal to help with this issue, it was incorporated into
ethereal on 3/22/2002.

I never got around to modifying the Ethereal GUI to support
"quiet" operation during capture.
How quiet is Sniffer when it's capturing? I.e., what does it display in the UI?
