I created an Extcap driver in Windows and noticed a few things:

1. Configuration is only passed if I launch interfaceSettings from opening
Window.  It is not saved or passed to driver every time.  Is the driver
supposed to save the last configuration passed to it?
 2. My extcap driver is a console executable that is not "hidden"
and comes up over top of Wireshark while capturing (which is visually
ugly).  Perhaps the Windows API used should be similar to dumpcap
(CreateProcess instead of g_spawn_async).  It seems CreateProcess has the
ability to hide dumpcap's console Window.


I wasn't sure if these were Bugs or Features and I needed to adapt my
driver accordingly.  The overall functionality of Extcap is really nice
though.



Are you planning to share (if possible) and document this somewhere, e.g.
Wiki?
