The ebuild says: * With version 0.99.7, all function calls that require elevated privileges * have been moved out of the GUI to dumpcap. WIRESHARK CONTAINS OVER ONE * POINT FIVE MILLION LINES OF SOURCE CODE. DO NOT RUN THEM AS ROOT. * * NOTE: To run wireshark as normal user you have to add yourself into * wireshark group. This security measure ensures that only trusted * users allowed to sniff your traffic. I added my user to the wireshark group, but there are no interfaces listed in the program. I read: http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges "Running Wireshark (or any other network capture/analyzer, for that matter) on Linux needs root privileges. Therefore, you have to have root privileges when starting Wireshark, else you can't capture data." I'm not sure how to proceed. - Grant
