Hello, I installed the tool on WSL and got "Npcap must be installed for windows host"
Afterwards I installed it in VMware on Ubuntu and got the same issue.
I installed Npcap on the host machine windows but it does not help.
What am I missing?

Have you taken a look at #13? It also talks about npcap missing on Linux hosts.

I've added more logging in the default scanner to give some more context. I'll close this since it's been open for a while though but we can re-open if wanted.
