You may not have a /dev folder, in the sense of something that the Finder will show you, but you definitely have a /dev directory, in the sense that, for example, "ls /dev" from a Terminal window will show you the contents of that directory.
Thanks for the explanation of the /dev directory. Confirmed everything you said and it does show there /dev/bpf0 to /dev/bpf6. I learned something new today. :-)
In order for it to be run, /Library/StartupItems/ChmodBPF, and all the files under it, must be owned by user "root" and group "wheel", and must not have group or other write privileges.
ls -l in StartupItems shows: total 0 drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 170 Jul 18 13:27 ChmodBPF and inside that directory, it shows: total 24 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 959 Jul 18 13:27 ChmodBPF -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2551 Jul 18 13:27 README.macosx -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 84 Jul 18 13:27 StartupParameters.plistSo, it looks like it meets the requirement you mentioned, doesn't it? This is what the Wireshark 1.6.1 installer created, I didn't change anything. Yet, no interfaces. I'm not exactly an expert on UNIX, so any help greatly appreciated!
