Re: [Wireshark-dev] Compiling with or without extcap

We had this discussion a bung of times. I have nothing against having a preference, but I am very much against making not-loading extcap the default. New users should not face a hassle to enable a capture interface, but existing users, who wish to improve the performance in any way, can profit
