It turns out, that Wireshark, when in pipe/FIFO mode, dislike
VirtualBox habit to create first "empty" packet, with pcap header
only.

VirtualBox generates first Ethernet frame incorrectly. That's why
Wireshark woos.

More detail:
Bug 6002 - Cannot Live-capture VirtualBox network packets with
Wireshark; pipe problem
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6002

It would help me, if VirtualBox could fix it for 4.1.0
