BLE sniffer -wireshark setup

[Vik]

I am trying to analyze the BLE communication between my laptop ( Linux) and a BLE device.  I have the BLE sniffer and the wireshark installed on the laptop. However, i am unable to view the " Interface toolbar". Also, should the wireshark be operated on a different laptop or can it be on the source laptop itsellf?

View -> Interface toolbars -> nRF Sniffer

Hi Igor,

Thanks for your response. I do not see the option of " Interface Toolbars" in the view option.

Please go through the steps in the nRFSniffer User Guide.

The nRFSniffer ZIP's extcap content should be placed in the Wireshark\extcap folder. If you have any issues after following the steps in the user guide, please take a look at the troubleshooting chapter in the user guide.

I have placed the required files in the extcap folder but i dont have luck in viewing the nrf sniffer in the list. I have also reviewed the troubleshooting section but could not find a solution yet.
