As workaround for capturing packets of all interfaces, we need to open adapter devices sequencely in the main program and then for each opened adapter device we can create a thread to read the packets from the device and dump them to a pcap file.

main program { fp= pcap_open_live(adapterName.c_str(), 65535, 0, 500, errorBuffer)}

Thread:
while (!stopDumping)
{
pcap_next_ex( fp, &header, &pkt_data);
pcap_dump((u_char*)dumpfile, header, pkt_data);
}
