Thanks for the note on the library! I am using Python for the extcap
plugin. While learning Rust is on my todo list, I don't plan to
implement the plugin in Rust at this stage.

Yes, indeed this is the idea of the extcap plugin: Assuming an ublox
receiver connected via USB, the plugin configures the serial device
(/dev/ttyACMx), reads UBX messages from the serial device, and
encapsulates the UBX messages in PCAP entries.
