Hello,
I've used the Nrf-Sniffer a zillion times before and I really appreciate the existence of this tool. Thanks a lot! Now, I want to run the tool on my new M1 MacBook. So I've installed the newest version of the tool (4.1.0), use Wireshark 3.6.8 and flashed the firmware (sniffer_nrf52840dk_nrf52840_4.1.0.hex) on a PCA10056 (2.0.1) eval board. I've disabled MSD. I used the latest version of Seggers software to flash the firmware.
The firmware seems to work, as the LED1 is blinking once in a while, indicating that it captured a package, as it used to do so in previous versions. Wireshark is recognizing the Sniffer, there is a USB device: /dev/tty.usbmodem0006832334881
But, there are no packages captured. I see not a single advertisement in Wireshark. I've double checked that no filters are set.
The output of `nrf_sniffer_ble.sh --extcap-interfaces ` gives me:

I remember that there was once a CLI client for the Sniffer. Is this still accessible to test the Sniffer. Any hints, ideas as to what could be wrong here and what I can do to find the cause of the problem?
TIA Torsten
