The bug is in the code that draws the little icons in the interface list in the
upper-left region of the main window in 1.2. Wireshark tries to determine which
icon to draw using the interface description and name, e.g. "802.11" gets you a
wireless icon. If the description is empty (that is, if the NIC driver doesn't
bother to fill in that field) it causes a NULL pointer exception in Wireshark.
Make no mistake -- this is a Wireshark bug. It just happens to be triggered by
this particular driver.
