Makes sense.

Makes sense.

Need to see how this haves with a lot of addresses.

I wanted to see all IP-addresses, but showing only one line would save
space. Not sure.

We don't have AirPcap devices and that support is most likely broken.
According to the documentation you were also able to capture on
multiple AirPcap devices. Not sure how this relates to the capabilities
we now have. Maybe someone with access to AirPcap devises can improve things...

That should come back...

Not sure. Maybe not showing unknown is the same as showing no addresses.

Thanks for the feedback!
