We recently installed Wireshark, but keep receiving this error:

 

                        Error while capturing packet: read error: packet receive packet failed.

                        Do not report as a crash failure

 

We run the software, and when we return to the machine, it is in sleep mode, could that be causing this error?  Does the Wireshark still record data while the laptop is on screensaver and in sleep mode?  Thank You
