CapturePrivileges not working

Hi

This might be a question for -users, but t seems, that the explanation on
http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges does not seem to
work anymore in Linux (running Mint 17, based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS).

I have set the dumpcap utility as defined the wiki-page, not using a group,
and it does not work anymore, but has worked before.

Does anyone have an idea, what might have changed? The capabilities are
indeed set. chmod 4750 does not work either. The only thing that seems to
work is starting Wireshark as root.

It works if I use wireshark from the original packages, but not if I run it
from the build-directory.

regards,
Roland
