I am slowly working my way through the Wireshark Network Analysis book. I am
trying to replicate the example on page 166 Chapter 5. The example figure 98
shows ethers.txt I created both files one without and one with a file
extension. Both in my profiles directory. I have tried restarting Wireshark but
I am unable to get Wireshark to recognize the name of my NIC.

Screen shots showing my configuration and it not work can be seen in the forum.
