I just received my new MBP today, and the first thing I did was  

install Wireshark (via Macports, which works perfectly for me on my  

current Powerbook G4)

Specifically...

wireshark/Portfile

The interesting issue is that as soon as I do a   "> sudo tshark -i  

en1"  it kills my wireless association, and I have to reconnect after  

the capture to get back into my Apple Extreme wireless connection,  

all other devices on the network are unaffected.

If I run Wireshark under X it has the same effect.

Running " > sudo tcpdump -i en1  works fine as you would expect.

This is a known problem on MacBook Pro.

If you have access to Apples Bugreporting system, open a bug about that.

Maybe one day apple will fix that *sight*.

It also happens when you simply type  "tcpdump".
