When I used the command:

 ./dumpcap -I -i en1 -i fw0 -t -n -w iftest.pcapng

I got the message:

Presumably the "-s" option is per-interface, as the appropriate snapshot length might differ based on the link-layer 
and metadata headers provided.

If so, presumably the "-I" option should be per-interface as well, as it only applies to 802.11 devices.
