First, you should follow the advice given and not run this command as root

su - some_safe_user -c "your command here"

su will allow you to quickly login as another user run a command and then exit.  then use sed to extract what you need

Your MAC1 is straight forward, so tshark must be return something unexpected or additional ...

yes, the first two lines of tshark is

"Running as user "root" and group "root". This could be dangerous."
"Capturing on eth0"

is this the cause? if yes, how do I get rid of them using sh/awk or sed?

Thanks.
