------- Comment #1 from guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx  2007-07-15 20:35 GMT -------
We could, at least on Linux, check for "Network is down" (unfortunately,
there's no guarantee that errno will be ENETDOWN after the call, and all you
get from libpcap is the error string), and stop the capture at that point. 
(There have been other cases where we've check for particular strings in the
error message on particular platforms, e.g. we were checking for a problem on
HP-UX at one point.)

We'd still want to pop up a dialog to indicate that the network went down; we'd
just want to note that it's not something that needs to be reported.
