The standard x64 macOS build should run using the Rosetta 2 technology from Apple to run code compiled for Intel.

I have no idea if it allows capture though.

The Wireshark build chain is being adapted to build for M1, but there's no timeframe for it being ready.

Brand new M1 Macbook Air with current Wireshark - monitor mode capture with 11ax seems to work OK:

Hi Bob, Network traffic works, but I would like to grab USB. I try "sudo ifconfig XHC20 up" in terminal. there is no HXC20 interface.

Do you have any idea or suggestion?

Sorry, I never worked through USB capture on a Mac. I would start a new question as other Mac users may have worked that problem.

Hi Bob,

It worked. there are XHC0/HXC1 interface on my Macbook Air M1(2020), OS :11.6 Just enable them and select on WireShark, it could capture USB packages.

But, I could not find any XHCI interface on Macbook Pro(M1,2020).Even it use same USB control chip "AppleT8103USBXHCI", its OS is 11.5

Any idea about that? Sorry ,it should be OS issue not wireshark's.

I would guess you need to compile it yourself. You can find the source code on gitlab : https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/

If you want a native ARM64 build, you will currently need to compile it yourself.

However, if you want to run, on an ARM64 Mac under macOS, an x86-64 build under Rosetta 2, that appears to Just Work.

There is no equivalent for running on an ARM64 Windows machine, except perhaps running an IA-32 (32-bit x86) build using Microsoft's binary translator.
