Actually, I've seen this happen on my MacBook Pro as well and I do not have KisMac installed. I didn't have much time to search or do anything about it but I was going to mention this on the list, but looks like Mike beat me to it. On Oct 29, 2006, at 7:51 AM, Eric Hall wrote:

When running Wireshark the wireless network dies as soon as you open a "List the available Capture Interface" window the wireless connection dies. The window shows the interface "wlt1", "ifconfig" shows the en1 as inactive. Performing an actual capture on this interface shows the 802.11 beacon frames from my AP.
This is annoying as I often use Wireshark to capture on my en0 while remaining connected to my network via en1, but as soon as I open a capture dialog, my network connection drops.
Has anyone else seen this on Intel Macs? Or is it perhaps a function of the drives for the "Pre-802.11n" Athereos chipset used in the newest Macs??
'wlt1' is the passive wireless interface driver from KisMac (see http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/WLAN), perhaps this is getting activated when you bring up the dialog and is thus dropping your en1 connection. Do you have anything like KisMac installed?
