Regarding my original post, thanks to Stephen and Guy
for their suggestions but there seems to be no way to
run Wireshark as a non-admin user.  What happens when
I try various methods of granting access, specifically
changing ownership of bpf0 by user or group, is that
another device (bpf*+1) is created each time Wireshark
is launched.  So if I've changed the permission on
bpf0, bpf1 is created to which I am denied access. 
Change bpf1, and the program then looks for device
bpf2.  Any FreeBSD Wireshark/Ethereal users have a
solution?
