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?
