When I attempt to capture packets using the AIRPCAP USB adapter the capture
immediately fails with the following error

Error while capturing packet: read error: packetreceivepacket failed
Please report this to the wireshark developers (this is not a crash, please do
not report it as such)

I have a Dell Latitude D810

When you see the adapter list and choose the adapter to capture you can see the
packet count and packet per second updating for the AIRPCAP adapter.

But whether you click Start or go to Options and Start from there it
immediately returns the above error and nothing is captured.
