Another problem might be that M1 mavs might not (but probably is) supporting monitor mode. While wireshark is currently working on a native version it ptobably supports. But the ecosystem (M1/M2) is fairly New and might require some tweaking/configuration to enable monitor mode

Rather than simply running Wireshark via "sudo" you should really follow the instructions described here, since doing that minimizes the number of processes running with elevated privileges, which is a good thing. There's a link on that page to specific instructions for Debian-based distros, which I'd expect to include Mint. Related to this, I'm pretty sure all the Wireshark installations I remember doing in the past few years on various Linux platforms via the appropriate package mangers have popped up a window on first launch describing the appropriate measures to take to allow non-root users to capture traffic, which were pretty much just a summary of the steps described in the second link I mentioned, but I'm not a heavy Linux user so my experience with this is a bit limited.

I then pasted all this into Excel and using LEFT, RIGHT I pared the information in the cell to their own cells. So now I have Interface, VLAN, MAC, and OUI columns. I then took the Wireshark database and pasted it onto a different sheet. I then used VLOOKUP and made a column where I resolved the OUI to its corresponding Vendor.

This seems like a great resource. Kudos.

> But most of them are based on the incomplete specs from Google's developer site. None of them can correctly predict what source files protoc will actually accept or reject 100% of the time.

I'd like to think I got pretty close with the plugin that now ships with IntelliJ. It even supports the 65-bit integer literal [1] that protoc happens to support for proto2-style float and double default values.

With this as a starting point, it'd be nice to fix some of the pecularities that arise from "implementation as spec", such as that literal value, and the fact that colon optionality in text format is based on value type, not syntax.
