Yes, I have which is why I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do next.

Dragging the ChmodBPF startup item to the StartupItems folder isn't sufficient; after you do that, open up a Terminal window and do

	sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/StartupItems/ChmodBPF
	sudo /sbin/SystemStarter start ChmodBPF

and you should now get a list of interfaces on which you can capture.

We should update the documentation - or make the dmg contain an Installer package which does all that stuff.
