The nRF sniffer - Wireshark not listing the Interface

[Dil]

Hi,

I'm using Windows 10, Wireshark 3.2.17, python 3.9,   pyserial 3.5.

I see this question has been asked before but the solutions did not work for me.

I get the following output to verify the extcap.

I only have one python version (3.9) installed and pyserial is installed for that.

From wireshark I can enable, View -> Interface toolsbars-> nRF sniffer for 802.15.4. 

Still I do not get the interface listed in Wireshark to capture. Wireshark can capture packets from other interfaces.

I use the nRF52840-DK board programmed with .hex file via nRF Connect.

Next, I also tried to see with ble sniffer, but the interface does not get listed for that either.

What am I missing?

Hi

Please try closing Wireshark, then do an full erase of the nRF52840 DK before flashing the sniffer firmware onto the nRF52840 DK. After flashing the device with sniffer firmware, try opening Wireshark, and the interface should appear with the correct COM port.

If this does not make the DK show up as a sniffer interface, please make sure you've gone through the "Installing nRF Sniffer for 802.15.4" and Configuring Wireshark for Thread (or for Zigbee, depending on what you want to do sniffing actions of.

Best regards,

Simon
