Actually, this is strange,

it ONLY seems to be my wireless connection when monitoring it on en1.  
My ethernet card works just fine. Go figure.

So, I guess the 'bug' here is that wireless drops on OS X as soon as  
I capture, but I can reconnect it.

Still, I'd love to know how to prevent the wireless from dropping. I  
thought in might have to do with permissions on my bpf devices in / 
dev/bpf. As it turns out, as long as the user wireshark runs under  
has read access, your golden.

Weird.
