Just some general observations:

1. Could the Promiscuous Mode column contain check-boxes so that each
interface can be set as required without having to go into an interface
specific dialog?  The main promiscuous mode check-box should be labelled as
setting promiscuous mode on *all* interfaces or similar.

2.  The Capture enable check-boxes seem to be a carry over from the GTK
version.  Another approach is to drop the column and check-boxes and make
the rows multi-select so that the user just selects the rows for the
interfaces they wish to capture on.

3.  Make some space for the "capture on all interfaces" check-box that the
GTK version has?

4. Somewhat similar to 1, can the cells for the Interface name and Snaplen
be made editable if clicked so that the user can modify values directly
without having to go to another dialog.  Maybe that would just make this
dialog too busy and does belong in a configure dialog somewhere.

It looks a great start anyway.
