I'm doing a capture across the network using WinPcap's remote capture feature. 
I'm capturing off a wireless interface that doesn't support promiscious mode
("Error while capturing packets: failed to set hardware filter to promiscuous
mode"), so I unchecked promiscious mode and start the capture.  If I click the
restart capture button in the toolbar, it tries to turn promiscious mode (my
default) back on, which stops the capture with the above error.  We should try
to use the same settings when restarting a capture.
