Yes, sorry for not being specific, the physical interface is ethernet.
The ethernet card always shows up in the capture interface dialog box.
When the tcp/ipv4 stack is enabled, the ipv4 ip address for my

not recognizing the ipv6 interface for some reason.
Not necessarily. It could be that, for example, WinPcap can't get the
IPv6 address for the interface and supply it to Wireshark (Wireshark
depends on libpcap/WinPcap to do a lot of the work of dealing with
network adapters). Gianluca?
