So what is the issue?  Does capture fail to start?  If so, what error is reported?  Do some packets not get captured?  
Do no packets get captured? On what operating system is this?

What do you mean by "binding"?  Assigning a MAC address to an interface?  Deciding, if both interfaces receive a copy 
of a given packet, which one gets inserted into the networking code and passed up to libpcap/WinPcap and thus to 
Wireshark?  In both of those cases, the code is in your OS, and where it is in the OS depends on what OS it is.
