You need to set the path to the folder that Wireshark looks in for MIBs &c, because the default in version 1.0.6 for Mac OS X is incorrect. In Wireshark, do the following:
• From the Edit menu, select Preferences...
• In the left pane of the Wireshark: Preferences window, click on Name Resolution
• For SMI (MIB and PIB) paths, click the Edit button
• In the SMI Paths window, click the New button
• In the SMI Paths: New window, in the name text box, type /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ and click OK
• Click OK
• Click OK
• From the File menu, select Quit
I found that it was also necessary to quit and restart X11 for the changed Wireshark preferences to take effect:
• From the X11 menu, select Quit X11
This gets rid of the loading the MIBS errors for me. YMMV. By the way, Wireshark is supposed to still be useable, even if you can’t get rid of these errors.
If after you get rid of these errors, you can’t capture anything because Wireshark sees no interfaces, make sure that you have followed the instructions for adjusting the permissions of /dev/bpf* .
Thank you PeterSchoenrank for posting this.
