I found the answer to my issue at https://josephhall.org/nqb2/index.php/wrshrkinstll
For me on OSX 10.11.6 with a previously working Wireshark install, I could see there were no local interfaces listed.
I tried a reinstall over the top and then a delete and reinstall - neither worked.
I could not see any created access_bpf group having been created. I checked the permissions on the /dev/bpf* files and they were without group permissions anyway.
I could see no /Library/StartupItems script to alter the permissions.
I could not access the /Library/Wireshark directory which had : drwx------ 3 504 wheel 102 8 Jul 2016 Wireshark
I couldn't find the ChmodBPF script in the Wireshark DMG.
So as a "sort it out now and get on with life" fix I did: sudo chmod o+r /dev/bpf*
(as suggested by the article I posted) and then restarted Wireshark. I was then able to see the local interfaces.
So perhaps something is wrong with the current Wireshark builds?
