Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Persistent Interface Comments?

Does anyone know how to make the interface "comments" field persistent
when running Ethereal 0.99.0 under Windows?

I've got 6 interfaces on the box running Ethereal, each raw into
different VLANS.  Downside, they happen to all be the same manufacturer
and the "Check the MAC address against the text file" is starting to get
old as a solution.  Adding the "comments" into the preferences > capture
screen works fine but you have to configure that each time you start
ethereal, which is quite unhandy.

Is there a workaround here that doesn't involve a recompile?
