Re: GUI Change for Wireshark Remote Interfaces

[Roland Knall <rknall () gmail com>]

Guy, is the version on github for libpcap already equipped with pcap_open
on Mac? I don't need it to function, just for the cmake script to work and
run, as it would make development of the new version so much easier.

I'll change the title accordingly, but the interface changes should be ok
so far, right?

Just a short question though, isn't "tcpdump over ssh" or "remote peek"
covered by extcap? What would those section of the interfaces need to
perform such tasks in a way of configuration?

regards
Roland
