Guy Harris ef72fa4de8 Fix up the "ethereal-dev" address to refer to "ethereal.com" rather than
"zing.org".  (We leave addresses in header lines in included mail
messages alone.)

Guy Harris 2ed6a9bb5d Put in a note about enabling the Packet protocol; if it's not enabled on
a Linux kernel, network analysis programs such as tcpdump or
Ethereal/Tethereal won't be able to capture packets.

Guy Harris 9b937a183a Add a note about many Linux libpcaps turning promiscuous mode off only
when the program using libpcap exits, and perhaps not doing so even
then, and indicating how to check whether an interface is in promiscuous
mode and how to take it out of promiscuous mode if it is in promiscuous
mode.

Guy Harris 6e8ab029fc Note that capture filters don't work on Linux loopback devices with the
current version of libpcap.

Guy Harris f26c52668d Note that the Ethereal workaround for the libpcap timeout problem should
prevent Ethereal's GUI from hanging during a capture, even if libpcap on
your Linux system hasn't been patched.
