Bug ID 8494
Summary wireshark 1.9.1 has automagic dependency on netlink/libnl
Classification Unclassified
Product Wireshark
Version 1.9.x (Experimental)
Hardware x86-64
OS Linux (other)
Status UNCONFIRMED
Severity Major
Priority Low
Component Wireshark
Assignee [email protected]
Reporter [email protected] 

Build Information:
there is no --enable/--disable option for libnl
--
Historically wireshark has used this feature from libpcap, given the issues
with that I understand a need to change.  As many users don't have wifi cards
(or linux machines for that matter) it would be nice to have an option to hard
disable libnl instead of having an automagic dep.
