Capturing is only possible when starting it by selecting the interface from the
main screen:
Welcome to Wireshark
Capture
[list of interfaces]
Learn
...
Examples:
1. Get a successful capture. Stop. Start ==> No interface selected
This should remember the interface previously used.
2. Get a successful capture. Stop. Capture Options. Start. ==> dry capture
This requires that for each capture attempt, I wait to be sure wireshark is
actually capturing before proceeding to my next step.
3. Get a successful capture. Stop. Getting a successful capture requires these
steps:
Capture Options. Select interface. Start.
Stop. ==> No packets captured.
Now, I get the main screen from which I can start a live capture.
Example 3 is the only way to be sure I have a working capture.
