You need to run wireshark with extended privileges in order to be able to read "raw" from the capture interface. /dev/bpf* is only accessible for root by default. Run 'sudo wireshark'. I don't know if modifying the permissions on those files would help as described on the wireshark wiki here: <http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges> (BSD section) HTH, Rainer _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
