I have found that I can reconnect to my wireless access point after I start the trace, and all works as expected (until the next trace, at which time you see the problem again). The only other workaround I have found is to run the capture from the command line, and then use wireshark to decode the capture file for you. For example...

	sudo tcpdump -i en1 -s0 -w qq.cap dst port 80
	wireshark qq.cap

I have just installed wireshark on my intel duo MacBook using DarwinPorts. It starts up fine (as root) but as soon as I click "List available capture interfaces..." my wireless disconnects and refuses to reconnect whilst wireshark is open.
Although it works fine for the wired network.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
