I was greeted with this message after resuming my computer from hibernation:



******************

Error while capturing packets: read error: PacketReceivePacket failed

Please report this to the Wireshark developers.  (This is not a crash;

please do not report it as such.)

Right before I hibernated the computer I was capturing traffic going through my Option 3G PC-card. The last thing I did before actually hibernating the computer was to disconnect the 3G card connection. Not sure if the message
appeared at that point or when the computer woke up again.

Disconnecting the 3G card connection probably caused the problem. Similar things have been reported on Linux.

Report this to the WinPcap developers; ask them if that's an expected error in that case.
