nflog, "nflog:<group_num>" not supported as interface name

[anvilvapre]

nflog requires you to specify the nglog group - an index - you want to capture. in tshart, dumppcap and tcpdump this works as expected. pyshark does not seem to support this.

cap = pyshark.LiveCapture('nflog', bpf_filter='ip and tcp') executes but does not result in packets

cap = pyshark.LiveCapture('nflog:1', bpf_filter='ip and tcp') does in tcpdump and tshark results in packets but in pyshark resuls in below error message:

sudo python3  cap.py

It does however start a dumppcap process and leaves it running even after exit.
