Wireshark crashes few seconds after starting listening

[Tarik]

Hi,

I have a PCA10000 nrf51 dongle, I use with wireshark and the nrf sniffer plugin. I followed all installation steps for the version 3 of the sniffer and the latest version of wireshark, everything seems fine till here.

But when I press the wireshark icon to start a listening session, wireshark stops then closes after few seconds without showing any information. I tried with both versions of wireshark (x32 and 64).

I am trying to install the version 2 of the nrf sniffer instead but could not find a guide for that since it does not have the same folder structure as the version 3.

Any idea about what could be the issue and how to solve it or any guide on how to use version 2 instead ?

Thanks a lot

Hi

Don't you get any error message when Wireshark closes what so ever? You should not be using version 2, as it uses Python version 2, which will soon be deprecated. I urge you to rather try uninstalling the nRFSniffer firmware and Wireshark, and try again. I have not seen this issue myself when following the nRFSniffer guide. 

Best regards,

Simon
