Re: nflog in qt and gtk

[Dario Lombardo <dario.lombardo.ml () gmail com>]

Some updates on this.
When running in QT, 2 dumcaps are created, one for stats and one for
capture. When capturing on nflog, the child process require the parent to
be dead (its fd are released). I tried to implement a solution that, in
case the interface starts with "nf", tries again up to 10 times. It works
on my machine. I noticed that the first try fails, while the second succeds.
You can find the change here

Comments welcome.
