[Bug 289986] Re: wireshark/tshark promiscuous capture on wireless interface locks up machine

[Dave Turvene]

Complete system lockup happens to me on a Dell M1530 with an Intel 3945
wireless card running 8.0.4 with a recently installed wireshark:

> apt-cache policy wireshark
wireshark:
  Installed: 1.0.0-1
  Candidate: 1.0.0-1
  Version table:
 *** 1.0.0-1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Don't know why the original bug report is at a higher level (wireshark
1.0.2-1)

The root problem is in dumpcap.  Running it without going into promisc
mode works fine.
