I'm using

Mac Pro

Arm chip

Sonoma 14.7.1 OS

Wireshark Version: 4.4.3

I've write successfully the  "sniffer_nrf52840dongle_nrf52840_4.1.1.hex" program into the nrf52840 usb stick with help of "nRF Connect for Desktop" 

After that pip successfully insalled 

pip install -r requirements.txt

Executed `nrf_sniffer_ble.sh` command as like below successfully and got the below message  

`./nrf_sniffer_ble.sh --extcap-interfaces`

Information printed on above command:

When i refresh a interface in Wireshark not listing it.

yes restarted the Wireshark. 

I'm using 

`python3 --version`

Python 3.13.1

Hi,

It might be worth downgrading to Python 3.11.x if possible, as the nRF Sniffer is tested and known to work using that version of Python.

Thanks for reply. I've updated the python to 3.11.10. 

$ python3.11 --version

Python 3.11.10

$ python3.11 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
