Root cause

The capture dropdown showed raw dumpcap descriptions (Local Area Connection*) and long NPF GUIDs. Display indices were unstable across refresh; heuristic name matching could suggest virtual adapters.

Change

• Resolve dumpcap capture IDs against Windows GetAdaptersAddresses adapter GUID; show Windows alias, hardware description and link state while retaining NPF ID for dumpcap -i.
• Prefer a single connected physical Ethernet adapter; preserve explicit selection by stable NPF ID across restart/reorder; never guess when multiple candidates exist.
• Show capture interface details in Studio and add deterministic Realtek/Hyper-V/ambiguous-NIC regression to existing production capture harness.
• Add iphlpapi only to Windows Qt targets. Other platforms retain safe dumpcap fallback.

Validation

Synthetic harness added, pending GitHub CI. Physical NIC inspection and TAP/SPAN capture require Windows machine and are NOT claimed.

Scope

Independent of pending firmware lifecycle PRs #355 / #350 / #330; no firmware or TX timing changes.
