When I start Wireshark there is a capture filter box where I can input some
text like host foo. However I often do that without realizing that my network
adapter isn't selected. When I then click on the network adapter whatever text
I put in the capture box disappears.

I have two small requests:
- Remember the last adapter and make the control select it the next time
Wireshark is launched.
- If there is text in the capture filter box don't remove it if the user
chooses a different adapter.
