Opening pcap helps us fail early in probe() if something is wrong, otherwise the 
driver probed and the problem detected in the start() when it is too late.
start() also opens pcap if it is not already opened.

In your usecase, if the pcap added by the secondary with the intention to use 
only by the secondary, yes primary process also opens the pcap unnecessarily, 
but that shouldn't be really a concern, this is one time cost in probe().

OK, also can you please use "Name Surname <email@address.com>" format, to be 
consistent, I guess for you it means as following:
