Are you *CERTAIN* that the *ONLY* change you made was to install a new
version of Ethereal?  *NO* changes to WinPcap?

If there were WinPcap changes, this is probably a WinPcap issue:

If there were no WinPcap changes, then what happens if you:

	install 0.9.7 again;

	record the name of the network interface;

	install 0.9.8 again;

	try to capture on that interface by typing its name (as it
	appeared in the capture dialog under 0.9.7) in the "Interface:"
	text box?
