Log:
 If capture_get_if_capabilities() fails, pop up a message, just as we
 print a message in tshark.  That doesn't fix the problem seen on Linux
 distributions, such as recent versions of Debian and derivatives, that
 have libpcap 1.1.0 or later built without libnl, where the monitor mode
 checkbox doesn't work - that's a libpcap bug, fixed in the 1.2 branch
 and trunk, so a future 1.2.1 or 1.3.0 release should fix it, and perhaps
 a future Debian release will build libpcap with libnl - but at least it
 means you get a dialog box rather than just getting mysterious behavior
 when you try to check the "monitor mode" checkbox.
