Right now I don't see a way to determine if capture interface is "extcap".
There is external_cap_args_settings, but I'm not sure if that's always non-null
for all extcap interfaces.
I have a hack that is preventing the crash on Qt, but I can duplicate similar
issues on GTK. The issue is that we're not always "gracefully" handling
has_wpcap == FALSE.
It seems the solution would be to not call pcap_compile (or similar) if capture
interface is extcap, but I can't figure out how to tell that.
