I'm not sure if this actually a Wireshark problem, or a WinPcap problem, but
Wireshark is reporting my Network Interface Card description incorrectly.
Its description is erroneously being reported as:
ADMtek AN983 NDIS5 Driver (Microsoft's Packet Scheduler)
The correct description (which appears correctly in the Windows Device Manager,
and elsewhere) is:
Linksys EtherFast Integrated 10/100 CardBus PC Card(PCM200) - Packet Scheduler
Miniport
The description is correct in the Windows Device Manager, and elsewhere.
The version of Wireshark that I was running about one year ago displayed the
description correctly. I don't know which version of Wireshark this was, as my
hard drive crashed since then.
Thank you.
