On my system the Wireshark Interface list gives non-helpfull Interface names
("Microsoft") for WLAN and Bluetooth. However other tools see much more
helpfull names:

netstat-r:
 13...00 27 10 7a xx xx ......Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6200 AGN
 12...00 26 0a 06 xx xx ......Intel(R) 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection
 10...5c ac 4c fc xx xx ......Bluetooth-Gerät (PAN)
  1...........................Software Loopback Interface 1

netsh int ipv4 show interface
Idx     Met         MTU          State                Name
---  ----------  ----------  ------------  ---------------------------
  1          50  4294967295  connected     Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1
 13          25        1500  connected     WLAN
 10          40        1500  disconnected  Bluetooth-Netzwerkverbindung
 12           5        1500  disconnected  LAN-Verbindung

The problem might be related to the fact, that it is using Microsoft device
drivers, however 3 out of 4 driver DLLs seem to be from Intel.
