Maybe someone who knows windows and the gui could add detection for
64-bit windows and pop up a BIG notice regarding this problem?



We should perhaps also add to

    http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/win32/
another Big Red Notice, this one about 64-bit Windows, so that people can find out even before they download Ethereal that they're not going to have the success capturing packets that they hope to have.
Having a note on this might be a good idea. But making everything a big red note doesn't help at all ... ;-)
BTW: There's a "workaround" mentioned at: http://wiki.ethereal.com/WinPcap using Microsoft's netcap tool for capturing.
