There don't seem to be any Slackware package of Wireshark at
http://packages.slackware.it/
(which
http://www.slackware.com/packages/
says is the official home for Slackware packages), but at
http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/
they do appear to have a Wireshark package:
http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/wireshark/
Binary packages are available for some other OSes, including some
other Linux distributions; links to them are at
