Bug Description

Hello,

Wireshark cannot capture from netware interfaces.

When launching as normal user

"Couldn't run /usr/bin/dumpcap in child process: permission denied

And when as root, capture works but wireshark is unhappy:

Lua: Error during loading:
 [string "/usr/share/wireshark/init.lua"]:44: dofile has been disabled due to running Wireshark as superuser. See https://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges for help in running Wireshark as an unprivileged user.

Fresh install 16.04 beta 2 apt-get upgrade 31 mars.
