It would be nice (and possibly a bit less confusing) if the Win32 capture

Dial-up Connections" dialog.

So are those the same names that show up as descriptions in the drop-down list in Ethereal on Win32?

Or are the descriptions we get from WinPcap different from the ones that show up in "Network and Dial-up Connections" (is that in the "Connect using:" field in the "General" tab of "Local Area Connection Properties" in W2K?)?
