No, it just means, that extcap interfaces are either available by default
or not. They do not run permanently.

Hi Roland,
For the BACnet mstpcap (RS485 serial packetizer, third party, open source),
the users currently just drag-n-drop the mstpcap.exe file into the extcap

Hello,
I vote for "Enable for default" and please remember that I am creator of
one of them - androiddump. It provides interfaces like libpcap (aka normal
Wireshark interfaces) and more (Logcat). So I want to have it out of box.
(cons: may generate a lot of interfaces... for 2 Android devices conn

There is currently a discussion going on in

There are basically two sides to the argument:
