nRF51 BLE Sniffer V2 Dongle Problem

Hi

I am trying to setup the BLE wireless dongle with wireshark and can't get it working - it wont appear in the wireshark list.

This is what I have done:

1) I have Wireshark (Version 2.4.6 (v2.4.6-0-ge2f395aa12)) installed on my Windows 10 PC.

2) I have installed the firmware with Segger J-Link as described on page 6 of the Sniffer V2 Users guide document 

3) I have downgraded the J-Link interface to the one shown in the Sniffer V2 Users guide document - Both the Host Firmware and the emulator show 2017 Jun 9 14:57

4) I have installed Python on my windows PC and set the path file - executing 'python --version' from the cmd prompt returns Python 3.6.5 

Problems:

1) In wireshark I see no  'Interface Toolbars' selection under the 'View'  folder.

2) On page 17 of the Sniffer V2 Users guide document it ask you to check that the Python batch file can find the interfaces by typing 'nrf_sniffer.bat --extcap-interfaces' 

This returns an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\extcap\nrf_sniffer.py", line 60, in <module>

import serial 

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'serial'

Any help on how to resolve this issue and get the sniffer working is appreciated

Cheers

Michael
