Hello forum and support. I have previously used my nrf dongle as a bluetooth sniffer using wireshark and this worked just fine - now i need to use it as a "nRF Connect for Bluetooth Low Energy Standalone v4.0.4" device.
Sniffer mode
When i i select the device, in the app, with the sniffer firmware loaded, i get the following

If i choose Yes
It loads forever:
And ouputs the following in the terminal:
As it is loading/frozen, the best i can do is to snip it. no buttons work in the app.
- I am convinced that there's something i have missed but skimming the documentation didn't ping my radar. Are any of you familiar with these error messages? I have seen that there's multiple posts regarding "Device has no serial port" but i didn't recognise them as applicable to my issue.
Be aware that i am very new to this and lack general sensibilities when it comes to the nordic semi ecosystem.
