Since wireshark requires higher than regular user privileges (at least on BSD),
it is natural to be running it with setuid/setgid.
However, when any of these flags is set, wireshark fails after the splash
screen:
Error creating proxy: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)
Error creating proxy: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)
This fails with both u+s and g+s, including when wireshark is in 'network'
group.
Actually, (at least on BSD) wireshark should be run as g+s and with 'network'
group so that users can just launch it and it will find interfaces.
Currently I have to run is 'sudo wireshark'
