+ If your list of available capture interfaces is empty
+ (default OS X behavior), try the following commands:
+
+ wget https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3373 -O ChmodBPF.tar.gz
+ tar zxvf ChmodBPF.tar.gz
+ open ChmodBPF/Install\\ ChmodBPF.app
+
+ This adds a launch daemon that changes the permissions of your BPF
+ devices so that all users in the 'admin' group - all users with
+ 'Allow user to administer this computer' turned on - have both read
+ and write access to those devices.

+ See bug report:
