Why do we need to link Wireshark with this file? Access to libnl is restricted
to dumpcap and this file is providing the libnl interface or am I wrong?
Only the channel setting is done through dumpcap as this required
CAP_NET_ADMIN. ws80211_utils.c also contains code for querying
interfaces for supported frequencies etc. This code does not require any
special permissions and is called from the toolbar GUI.
