I just received my new MBP today, and the first thing I did was  
install Wireshark (via Macports, which works perfectly for me on my  
current Powerbook G4)

Specifically...
wireshark/Portfile

The interesting issue is that as soon as I do a   "> sudo tshark -i  
en1"  it kills my wireless association, and I have to reconnect after  
the capture to get back into my Apple Extreme wireless connection,  
all other devices on the network are unaffected.

If I run Wireshark under X it has the same effect.

Running " > sudo tcpdump -i en1  works fine as you would expect.

This is a known problem on MacBook Pro.
If you have access to Apples Bugreporting system, open a bug about that.
Maybe one day apple will fix that *sight*.
It also happens when you simply type  "tcpdump".
