For install:
In order for wireshark be able to capture packets when used by unprivileged user, /dev/bpf should be in network group and have read-write permissions. For example: # chgrp network /dev/bpf* # chmod g+r /dev/bpf* # chmod g+w /dev/bpf* In order for this to persist across reboots, add the following to /etc/devfs.conf: own bpf* root:network perm bpf* 0660
