4.1 "to start capure packets" should be "to start capturing packets"

4.2 tip: "just try to keep" should probably be "just try keeping"

4.2.1:

Interface: drop "the" in "the Ethereal"

Link-layer header type: substitute "Unless you are in the rare situation
that you need this,"

Buffer size: "try to increase" should probably be "try increasing"

Capture packets in promiscuous mode: I think "put the interface in" is
better (as you say the first note)

4.2.2:

Next file every n megabyte(s), Next file every n minute(s): remove comma
after "Switch to the next file,"

Stop capture after n file(s): change "Stop capturing after switched" to
"Stop capturing after switching"

4.2.3: remove commas after "Stop capturing,"

4.2.4 Automatic scrolling: complete sentence preferable, as in "This
option is greyed out if "Update list of packets in real time" is
disabled."

4.3 first tip: should be "one of the "Multiple files" options."

4.3 note: "these information" should be "this information"

4.4: better to drop "will" in "The following paragraphs will describe"

4.4: typo: choide

4.5: preceeded should be preceded and preceed should be precede

4.5 ether: missing space in "includethe"

Description of figure 4.2: "The protocols which are counted cannot be
changed."

4.6.1: mention ^E ?
