Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Need help-not showing interfaces in drop down list on Mac
I am not sure why you would prefer a permanent change to /dev/bpf* than a temporary (running as - sudo) root-enabled option?!?
I do not think that devfs is persistent between reboots, on the macosx?!? Haven't tried it lately, but it wasn't, a while ago ...

Not ecessary to run as root,
it just needs the user or group to have rw access to /dev/bpf*
Just need to:
$ sudo chmod go+rw /dev/bpf*
