I can't duplicate the problem you're having on my Fedora Core 9 Linux system
using the latest development version of Wireshark (1.1.x branch).  Do you have
the same problem if you run Wireshark as a normal user?  You can get it to
capture as a normal user by either passing the --enable-setuid-install option
to the configure script and then installing it or by doing :chown root
/usr/local/bin/dumpcap && chmod u+s /usr/local/bin/dumpcap" (NOTE: This allows
dumpcap, the packet capturing piece of Wireshark, to start as root.  This is
needed to grab the interface to capture from and then root privileges are
dropped.)
