nRF sniffer for nRF52840: Can not set filter

[dtmr]

2. In the nRF sniffer software, the device I'm interested in does not show up in the "Source" column with its addess, b8:80:4f:6b:b6:9e, but as "TexasIns_6b:b6:9e". It seems this prevents me from filtering. If a filter is added for the device's address (eth.src == b8:80:4f:6b:b6:9e), all events disappear and no new events appear. I'm not allowed to enter "eth.src == TexasIns_6b:b6:90" as filter: "not a valid ethernet address". Is there a work-around?!

2. Another problem is that the drop-down devices list (inital content: "All advertising devices") is not populated. "All advertising devices" remains the only entry. It was populated when I used the program for the first time but not now (and it was only partially populated; my device was not in it). Windows 8.1

Hi,

I've tried different versions of Wireshark (back to 2019) and Python (python-3.7.9-amd64, python-3.9.7-amd64) to exclude incompatibility with the latest versions.

Can it work now? If it still not, you might contact https://www.wireshark.org/. for the GUI issue.

After some Wireshark starts, the device drop-down list works. Most often it remains empty. This appears to be random. I don't see a difference between a good start and a bad start in the log. The device drop-down list was filled often enough to get my work done, so I'm not going to investigate further. Thanks for your help so far.
