Package: wireshark
Version: 1.4.4-1
Severity: normal

Per the README.Debian, I have added my user to the 'wireshark' group (this group
did not already exist). On relaunching wireshark I still had no interfaces
available for sniffing. When I run as root, my interfaces are available to use.

Here are the commands I ran:
    $ sudo groupadd wireshark
    $ sudo usermod -a -G wireshark me

I also tried:
    $ sudo addgroup --system wireshark

Thanks
