Understood, but yeah I just meant in the sense "might work," not "a supported
release."

I'm running Ubuntu Hardy Heron but I built Libpcap from tip of revision control
I think two or three weeks ago. Same for Wireshark.
But if you think it should be supporting the binary format, then maybe I'm
linking to the wrong version. Seems unlikely though since I got latest libpcap
and built because Wireshark didn't show me anything related to usb until I
figured out that I didn't just need latest libpcap release, I needed tip of
revision control, got it, built, installed.
