How to easily identify multiple interfaces in wireshark...

Hello,

I'm used to give more precise description of my connection in Wireshark interface Properties in the comment field
So it' easy to select the interface facing the switch I want to capture.

The problem I have is on one my HP  machine I have 8 interfaces and it's hard to tell which is which from inside 
Wireshark
because  the identification  like "\Device\NPF_{C4F............}  is not shown in windows interface list  and the 
description field is
all the same:

HP NC364T PCIe Quad Port Gigabit Server Adapter
HP NC364T PCIe Quad Port Gigabit Server Adapter
...

As opposed as windows who list them as for example:

HP NC364T PCIe Quad Port Gigabit Server Adapter #3
HP NC364T PCIe Quad Port Gigabit Server Adapter #4
...

Any idea of what I can do to easily do a match ?    ( Now I put all the connection in "shutdown" state in Cisco 
switches and re-enable them
one at a time to see them reappear in Wireshark but it's a bit cumbersome...)

regards.

Andre Noel
