Firstoff thankyou for this excellent software. However I am having 
persistent startup problems with version 10.8.0 of ethereal in Win98.

I have Win98SE installed on my home desktop with a USB ADSL modem. I have 
installed WinPcap_3_1_beta4 followed by ethereal 0.10.8 and intitially I got 
a fault each time I started ethereal at the "registering dissectors" stage.

Having read your previous posts I have uninstalled this and installed 
ethereal 0.10.8-SVN-13003. This allows ethereal to start however now the 
system hangs and reboots when I bring up the interface dialogbox or the 
capture screen and try to select the ADSL modem as the interface.

There are only 3 interfaces listed:
	PPP Adapter.: PPPMAC
	Microsoft Tv/Video connection: NdisIP
	USB ADSL Driver: GWAUSB98

Running "windump-D" from command prompt also lists these adapters and is an 
indication that WinPcap is detecting the hardware correctly.

On my XPSP2 laptop, ethereal runs like clockwork with the broadband modem 
and I note there are different options listed in the interfaces box. 
"Generic NdisWan adapter" seems to work perfectly satisfactorily by default.

Regards,

Goppit.
