Hi again, It's now the next day after turning the machine off overnight and... wireshark is working and finding its library with no problem. Does this mean that /etc/ld.so.conf is cached somehow? In any case I'm down to only one question, and it is really a generic Linux one:
What do I have to do to make eth0 available to an ordinary user? SuSe 10 uses kernel 2.6.13-15.18.
