If capture_get_if_capabilities() fails, pop up a message, just as we

print a message in tshark.  That doesn't fix the problem seen on Linux
distributions, such as recent versions of Debian and derivatives, that
have libpcap 1.1.0 or later built without libnl, where the monitor mode
checkbox doesn't work - that's a libpcap bug, fixed in the 1.2 branch
and trunk, so a future 1.2.1 or 1.3.0 release should fix it, and perhaps
a future Debian release will build libpcap with libnl - but at least it
means you get a dialog box rather than just getting mysterious behavior
when you try to check the "monitor mode" checkbox.
