Hi,
 My Intel Proset wireless connection only works when
Ethereal is capturing packets. It gets connected and
gets an IP address even when Ethereal is not working
but no other traffic goes through including no DNS
resolution. But as soon as I start Ethereal it
works....I am hoping that someone who understands what
Ethereal does that could be making this works...

My ethernet connection works with and without
ethereal. 

Also this wireless connection has worked before
without ethereal but I am not sure what caused it to
stop. 

I am a reasonably informed user but this is some
windows internals corruption that I can't figure out.

Thanks in advance,
Anshuman
