Try to download windump (http://windump.polito.it) and issue a "windump -D".
This should print the list of the interfaces present on your system.

input and output.

It doesn't care. However, if you use .acp Analyzer
(http://analyzer.polito.it) will recognize and open them.

correct ?

Yes, look at the windump manual (on the windump web site) for details.

> Is this pcap_filter only to filter packets from a already captured file or
does it capture packets too ?

It can capture from an interface, if you provide one with the -i command
line switch.
