Works for me too on OS X. sudo is not needed to run tcpdump for any interfaces.

$ ls -l /dev/bpf*

crw-rw---- 1 root access_bpf 23, 0 Mar 1 09:18 /dev/bpf0

Edit: Wireshark is installed

Did you install Wireshark? Did you let it reconfigure your system? Is your current user in the "access_bpf" group?

Later

Yes. Your system is misconfigured. Don't let Wireshark do that.

It looks like Wireshark will happily keep your system permanently misconfigured. To fix it, disable

/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.wireshark.ChmodBPF.plist

This actually seems like a much crummier thing than the 1Password non-thing.
