Wirehark in ubuntu 9.10(karmic) without having to launch from the commandline with sudo

So, I am having problems with qwest router making my network connections have trouble. So I installed wireshark and launched it. It came up in user mode and it didn't have any network interfaces in the list. So I had to launch it from a console with sudo. Then I found a page that explained how to fix it.

Basically:
$ sudo aptitude install libcap2-bin
$ sudo setcap cap_net_raw=+ep /usr/bin/dumpcap
