I compiled Wireshark with HAVE_AIRPDCAP by mistake (since I do not have
AirPcap). This leads to a runtime problem however. When choosing "options"
from the "Capture interfaces" dialog, I receive a modal dialogue with an OK
button with a textual description that is only garbage (uninitialized
memory).
The provided patch adds a new error - AIRPCAP_NOT_LOADED (2) code to the
airpcap loader that also adds the text "AirPcap was expected to be loaded
but is not" to the modal dialogue instead of the uninitialized string.
Regards, Peter
