nRF Sniffer support for Wireshark v2.0.3

sidekick

Hi,

My setup:

  • Host: Windows 10, 64 bit
  • CPU: x86_64
  • Wireshark: v2.0.3 nRF
  • sniffer: v1.0.0
  • nRF Dongle: Segger, PCA100000, v2.2.0 (nRF51822QFAA based board)

Followed the Sniffer guide to successfully flash the dongle and start the sniffer application, however packet capturing is not working. Wireshark crashes and I see the message logged on the console that wireshark v2.0.3 is not supported. Is there a plan to add support for latest version of wireshark (v2.0.3) ?

    I think it might be the best idea, if more work is done on it, to change the output format from the raw data format from the sniffer which is interpreted by wireshark by a custom dissector to one of the supported BTLE formats, now they are baked in.

    I'm thinking of fixing the OSX version, which I just updated the plugin for 2.0.3 for, to output in WTAP_ENCAP_BLUETOOTH_LE_LL_WITH_PHDR format, which I think there's just about enough data to do. That ought to dissect natively without ever needing another plugin.

    I would have done it yesterday but I'd crawled through enough undocumented code for one day
