Description
This is no problem/issue for experienced users however it can be not so revealing for new users.
If a cmd line is used that is not complete/correct in terms of runmode or interface the info/warning msg is not revealing of what the actual problem is.
In the case below an interface (or --af-packet) is actually missing form the command - maybe check for interface or run mode and warn about not being used?
