I can capture packets and remain attached to my wireless running perfectly

sudo tcpdunp -i en1

When I run

sudo tshark -i en1

It immediately drops the wireless.

What if you run

	sudo tcpdump

without a "-i" argument? It will probably drop the wireless connection, so the problem isn't purely a Wireshark problem.

And what version of TShark are you running? What does "tshark -V" print? A version I have built from recent SVN source doesn't open wlt1 if you run it with "-i en1", so that version shouldn't cause the connection to be dropped.
