With current latest version from git master the Wireless Toolbar can no longer
be used to configure monitor frequency. This problem is caused by the following
commits:
a1368ce Use get_nonzero_guint32() to fetch guint32 values.
fcb6fd3 dumpcap: change types.

The Wireless Toolbar used an undocumented way to specify that center frequency
and center frequency2 was not used by supplying dumpcap with these options set
to -1. The two commits above removed that possibility making the Wireless
Toolbar stop working.
