Title: Ethereal, Getting interface selection to appear under CAPTURE / START button.

tethereal -i en0
tethereal: The capture session could not be initiated (recv_ack: promisc_phys er
ror 0x11).
Please check to make sure you have sufficient permissions, and that
you have the proper interface specified.


I am running this on AIX version 4.3.3. When I call ethernet up in xwin, and select Capture, I cannot get any interfaces to appear in the selection field (en0 or en1). I attempted to run it at the command line and got the same. HELP!!! I am running this as root, I am not sure where it reads the interfaces.
