Using Wireshark and when trying to configure capture filter from ther the initial interface screen i am getting "unknown data link type -1" error.. The interface i am choosing is wireless and my capture filter is just "tcp" (i tried other filters as well all same errors)... When i choose the interface as loopback all is fine (no errors)

Are you able to capture on that interface anyway, without capture filter?
