In there is a script ChmodBPF that makes the required modifications for you.
It's also the "Startup" folder in the "Utilities" folder in the .dmg.
Unfortunately, it can't just be dragged and dropped. It needs to be

(Also, the folder needs to be named "ChmodBPF", not "Startup", just as
the script is called "ChmodBPF".)
It *might* be possible to make it draggable-and-droppable. If not, we'd
have to make it an installer package to make it easier to install.
