Might be helpful to start from square one. First thing you need to determine is if wireshark will work on your wifi--if it does then continue. If it doesn't, then it only worked at starbucks because they have a wonkey setup where they're intentionally trying to capture all the internet traffic that goes through there. Here are the exact commands I use to setup a bridged interface manually on a systemd system using ip (as opposed to the old ifconfig), just swap out my ethernet ens32 for your enp0p3 ]$ ip link add name br0 type bridge ]$ ip link set dev br0 up ]$ ip link set dev ens32 promisc on ]$ ip link set dev ens32 down && ip link set dev ens32 up ]$ ip link set dev ens32 master br0 #lose connection here ]$ modprobe tun ]$ ip tuntap add tap0 mode tap ]$ brctl addif br0 ens32 ]$ brctl addif br0 tap0 ]$ dhcpcd -k ]$ dhcpcd br0 ]$ ping google.com If ping works, then you're setup and have a tap0 interface ready to go for your VM.
