I recently installed WS using Fink but I am unable to use it on my Mac

capturing and which option I en-/disable.
Any ideas?
This is a known problem with OS X on some machines.
Try directly typing the name of the interface in the "Interface:" box in
the Capture->Options dialog...
...or try getting Wireshark from Andreas Fink rather than just Fink:

as that version's linked with a version of libpcap that avoids opening
wlt devices.
