Are these flaws being addressed? I got the assuring e-mail saying that a support engineer was assigned to my ticket on May 6th, but I haven't heard anything back yet...

The above problems was when using Wireshark 2.6.8. Downgrading to 2.4.14 avoids this crash. However, it would be good to clearly write the Wireshark version requirement and that you have to run it as sudo! Were you aware of this? Is this a Wireshark or Nordic issue?

I finally managed to get the nRF Sniffer to show in Wireshark, but apparently you have to run it with sudo. However, the Wireshark application crashes as soon as I start capturing. The following is the output:

$ sudo /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/Wireshark
