un-quarantine the file if it as an @ next to it after permissions with ls -al
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Library/StartupItems/ChmodBPF

Thanks - you'd think they would have mentioned that in the README...

@Rob

The command "sudo chown -R root:wheel ChmodBPF" alone did not work for me.

I had to also use (from Rob's suggestions above):
sudo chmod 644 /dev/bpf*

Thanks to all .....

@Wireshark + OSX 10.6.6 = Success

Sudo is always a magic solution, but it's not usually a good idea to run lots of programs as root, as there's potential for lots of damage or malicious activity.

So a lot of people have been having trouble running Wireshark on OSX 10.6.6, having no interfaces, and when applying the CHmodBPF, they get login errors. Not to fear! Here is how I fixed it. Install Wireshark via Macports, and when starting up Wireshark, run it with "sudo", so your start command is "sudo wireshark". Enter password, and all fixed! You don't even need to keep the CHmodBPF folder in the startupitems folder for it to work.

Happy sniffing!

"I wasn’t very clear on this in the article, but you need to restart your Mac after changing the permissions for the script to work."

No you don't need to. To check whether the script gets automatically executed, just log out and log in again. Strictly talking, you don't even need to do that. Just run the script like 'sudo /Library/StartupItems/ChmodBPF/ChmodBPF start' to get going.

I was looking for this! Thanks a lot. Which book do you suggest for git?

I've been tracking this down for a few hours today ... installed Wireshark on a new machine and could not see the interfaces. I ran across several other suggestions that were similar to yours including on wireshark.org, but yours is the only one that worked! Thanks very much for putting this out there ... you might want to install a tipjar!

That script could also apply to other packet capturing software you may have installed like libpcap or tcpdump. If you're not using packet capturing software, you might try moving it out of startup items and restarting, then wait to see what stops working. ;)

I wasn't very clear on this in the article, but you need to restart your Mac after changing the permissions for the script to work. Adding an update to my post to make sure nobody misses it in the future. I just reinstalled on Mac OS 10.6.4 and everything shows up fine for me after a restart.

Same as Thomas, still not having any luck. I opened up the command prompt copied the above command
cd /Library/StartupItems
sudo chown -R root:wheel ChmodBPF

It asked me for my password, i entered it, pressed enter then opened up WireShark.
Still no interfaces or capturing devices
