title: How can I remove the need of wpcap.dll in my go program?
body: <p>I use gopacket in my program. on linux, it runs perfectly.
  But on windows the whole program crashes if i did not install WinPcap before.</p>
  
  <p>My plan was to check if WinPcap is installed, and if not to inform the user that he needs this to use 100% of all features.</p>
  
  <p>But i dont come to this point. i cant use gopacket if WinPcap is not available. I mean... not a single line of code of it (=> crash)</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone an idea how i can solve this? im do not need gopacket actually. My plan was, if it is installed, fine, super! If not, dont care... do other things.</p>
  
  <p>But now i have 2 choices... remove gopacket totally or find a way to start my program without the need of wpcap.dll. at least to tell the user that he needs it.</p>
  
  <p>Please help me :(</p>
