Wow.... :-) :-)
And did you know that one needs to be part of the "wireshark" group to use
wireshark as a normal user? And, you have to part of the "vboxusers" group
to gain access to USB devices when using VirtualBox?
This has nothing to do with selinux. It is normal unix/linux limiting
policy.
But when in doubt it is always a good idea to blame it. :^(
