Great !! I think, that will work fine incase of single interface.
But, incase of multiple interfaces, how will wireshark select a
particular interface automatically so that packets sent/received
through that particular interface can be analyzed as soon as the
system boot up? Is there any configuration file that can be used by
wireshark to choose an interface as soon as it comes up ?

Thx in advans,
