--
When there are many interfaces the QT UI doesn't show the complete list.
Sometimes a scrollbar appears, but it can't show all of them.

To have a huge number of interfaces, they can be fakely created using the
provided example extcap, running something like this (this works from a cmake
build dir)

for (( i = 1 ; i < 20 ; i++ )); do cat ../doc/extcap_example.py | sed
's/example1/example'$i'/g' > run/extcap/bug$i; chmod +x run/extcap/bug$i; done

This creates 20 fake interfaces, that can't be shown all up in the interfaces
list.
