I have forwarded your suggestion to make this clearer in the documentation. Thank you for your feedback!

Hi Simon,

I'm not using the dongle but the PCA10056, it is correclty flashed since I can the see the led blinking.

Anyway I found the problem, I used to connect to the JLINK Port (J2 connector) for Nordic BLE Sniffer. This seems not to work for 802.15.4 sniffer, I have to connect to the nRF USB port. In this way I am able to sniff 802.15.4 packet.

I think this should be explained better in the documentation.

Thank you

I just set up the nRF Sniffer myself (on a new computer). And did not see the "interface" either when running the --extcap-interfaces until I flashed the nRF Sniffer hex file onto the nRF52840 Dongle I used. Can you make sure the DK you're using is connected to the computer and try doing and Erase & Flash in the nRF Connect Programmer app?

Best regards,

Simon
