Wireshark uses libpcap for capture on *some* platforms, not all.
The only platform on which it doesn't use a library called "libpcap" is Windows - and what it uses there is WinPcap, which is a driver to connect to NDIS to do packet capture, a library built atop that driver, and a port of libpcap that uses that library, so libpcap is relevant even on Windows.
