NRF 52840 Dongle, Wireshark two interface toolbars

[Dave Price]

Wireshark Windows version 4.4.5

nrfutil 7.12.0

ble-sniffer version 0.14.1

Somehow during the course of installing the nRF Sniffer, Wireshark got two interface toolbars.  I'm concerned that they may be competing or conflicting with each other.  Does anyone know how to remove one of them?  I could choose to only show one.  But that doesn't guarantee that the invisible one isn't doing something unexpected behind the scenes.

Thanks

I guess you have two copies of the plugin. Probably in the same directory. I am not using Windows myself but you can find the directories for Wireshark plugins here:

https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/ChPluginFolders.html

Use your File Explorer and remove one of your two copies of the plugin (if you find it).

Good luck!

Thanks for the great tip.  Unfortunately, I was only able to locate one copy of the plugin.  I checked both the global and personal plugins listed under "About Wireshark -> Folders".  No luck.

Hello,

Could you check the folder AppData\Roaming\Wireshark\extcap for any duplicate references to nrf_sniffer_ble.py? If you find any, please remove one and see if that resolves the issue.

If the problem persists, I recommend uninstalling and then reinstalling the nRF Sniffer plugin.

Kind regards,
Abhijith

Thanks for your help.  I wasn't able to find a second reference to the nrf_sniffer_ble.py script.  

I resolved the issue by removing the contents of the AppData\Roaming\Wireshark\extcap folder.  Then recopied the contents from nrf_sniffer_for_bluetooth_le_4.1.1\extcap

One thing to note:  I ran into this issue invalid escape sequence \s - Nordic Q&A - Nordic DevZone - Nordic DevZone And I don't recall having that issue when I first installed the sniffing package.
