Now that the test and debug team are using my plugin they had to switch from Ethereal to Wireshark and they are complaining because Ethereal seems to remember (saves) the settings and preferences for capture options and they all have to reset them manually every time they launch Wireshark. 

Why doesn't wireshark save preferences and settings like Ethereal does?
There wasn't any change here for a very long time - except that Wireshark uses the old Ethereal settings if there are no "current" Wireshark settings available! 

They may try to:
- set the capture settings so that they'll work
- press the Save button in the Edit/Preferences dialog!

If that won't help you may explain which problems occur in a detailed way.
