"Add" in what sense? Ethereal doesn't currently support the new APIs for remote packet capture, so it doesn't currently have separate Interface: and Capture host: fields, and can't connect to the remote host to find out what interfaces it has and display a list of those interfaces.
However, "pcap_open_live()" should, on WinPcap, allow you to open something using rpcap syntax, as described in the document I referred to in my previous message, so if you already know the name of that interface, you should be able to put it in the Interface: field.
