works for me. something is wrong in your system.

ls -l /usr/bin/dumpcap
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root wireshark 63424 May 22 22:23 /usr/bin/dumpcap

as you can see, the file is NOT a symlink.

I've checked this also and is not a symlink neither in my case.
Does strace provide more information?
strace -o strace setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' /usr/bin/dumpcap
Can this problem be caused by a custom kernel?

Thanks

Comment by vicencb (vicencb) - Wednesday, 23 May 2012, 19:10 GMT
/dev/root on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)

Enable CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY if you want this to work.
Comment by vicencb (vicencb) - Wednesday, 30 May 2012, 22:20 GMT
In fact this config option and CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR which is a dependency are not set.
My fault.
Thanks for your attention.
