You should be able to run Wireshark as a regular user but you will not be able to capture--for that you generally need root access. (Though on at least some BSD operating systems you can simply chmod the appropriate device to allow non-root users to capture.) The upcoming release (0.99.7) will allow you to install the 'dumpcap' utility as setuid-root and this will allow all users to capture with Wireshark.
