Network interface device error, Programming

I use Dell Inspiron 14 3421

I am new to network analyzing using pcap.h library. I followed the instructions and used the code on this link 
http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/10/...using-libpcap/
Apparently I am getting this error

pcap_open_live() failed due to [wlan0 
: No such device exists (SIOCGIFHWADDR: No such device)]

Please help...

Why did you think a hardware forum would be appropriate for asking a software development question?

I thought it was maybe due to some hardware issue as it was not identifying the device....anyways i resolved the problem...software issue indeed
