Bug Description
Binary package hint: wireshark
Wireshark and libpcap do not support the rpcap option for remote capturing. The windows version has this support. Wireshark should be compiled with configure option --with-rpcap to enable this support. libpcap should have the binary support from winpcap remote capturing.
I frequently have to use this option for my job.

Wireshark does have support for rpcap on linux, it's libpcap that lacks support.
