Googled on that error and found (a.o.) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=895342
Not very hopefull....

The debian bug is about suricata not detecting automatically the network interface to use, which is not your case. Your problem is more likely related to optional features not supported by your network interface, such as explained here:
https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/1976

Anyway, that's just a warning, and unlikely to be a regression from version shipped with mageia 7.

@Guillaume
I found that bug report as well while googling, but being more than 3 years old...
Anyway, tx for reviewing this. OK'ing then.
