I have not found myself in your position, so I can't comment on
Wireshark and serial ports.

But I have been in the position of NetworkManager messing with my
serial ports. To work around it in my code, I made the file descriptor
exclusive so NetworkManager could not open it:

    /* Open the modem. It will be configured for exclusive use below. */
    s_modem = open(device_path, O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_SYNC);
    ret = errno;
    if (s_modem == -1) {
        log_error("Failed to open device %s: %s\n", device_path,
strerror(errno));
        s_modem = 0; errno = ret;
        goto finished;
    }

    /* Verify the modem is a terminal we can configure and control */
    if (!isatty(s_modem))
    {
        log_error("Device %s is not a tty\n", device_path);
        close(s_modem); s_modem = 0;
        ret = errno = ENOTTY;
        goto finished;
    }

    /* Get exclusive access to the modem. */
    /* Don't allow NetworkManager and ModemManager access */
    if (ioctl(s_modem, TIOCEXCL, NULL) == -1) {
        log_warn("Failed to set TIOCEXCL on device: %s\n", strerror(errno));
    }
