The first step towards clearing it up is to determine why it's happening.  It's not happening with 2.4.1 on my machine running 10.12.6.

One thing to try would be to quit Wireshark (force-quitting it if necessary), temporarily rename the /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/extcap directory to /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/NOTextcap, and starting Wireshark again.

Then let us know whether it still hangs, and rename the directory back to /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/extcap.
