RE: Wireshark not finding nrf sniffer

Ok, I got it working. That was one of the issues. The plugin is not found if wireshark is not run as administrator. Can this be fixed?

Also:

I had just unzipped the zip in the extcap directory. It is the contents of the extcap directory inside the zip that need extracting to the extcap directory. This wasn't very obvious from the instructions - step 4 (copy the zip to extcap) could be removed, and instead just say "extract the contents of the extcap directory in the zip to Wireshark extcap directory".
I didn't have pyserial installed. Run this to install:
```
env python2.7 -m pip install pyserial
```
To ensure the plugin is running without errors, running
```
./nrf_sniffer.py --extcap-interfaces
```
within the extcap directory should output the interfaces without error

Hi, try to run Wireshark as admin. Go to the terminal and type "sudo wireshark"
