I have installed the Wireshark 3.6.1, 64 bit on my Windows 10 PC and I followed the steps listed under "Installing the nRF Sniffer Capture Tool", namely:
1. I installed the Python requirements by opening a command window and navigating to the folder: sniffer_software/extcap, and then by typing the following command:
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt.
2. I copied the nRF Sniffer Capture Tool into Wireshark by copying the contents of of the sniffer_software/extcap folder into the folder: c:\Users\....\Roaming\Wireshark\extcap
3. I tried to enable the nRF Sniffer Capture Tool in Wireshark by
3.1 Refreshing the Interfaces in Wireshark, by selecting: Capture>Refresh Interfaces
3.2 By selecting: View>Interface Toolbars>nRF Sniffer for Bluetooth LE - as can be seen on the attached screenshot.
Once I did that, I was supposed to see that the nRF Sniffer is displayed as one of the interfaces on the Wireshark capture screen - but this did NOT happen.
I then tried to perform Step 3 activities in installing the nRF Sniffer Capture Tool to make sure that the nRF Sniffer files can be run correctly - as advised by the "Note".
So, I took these steps:
(a) I opened a command window in Wireshark's folder: Wireshark\extcap
(b) I run the nRF Sniffer Tool to list available interfaces by typing: nrf_sniffer_ble.bat --extcap-interfaces, in the wireshark\extcap folder
And I saw a series of strings, as expected. I attach that "List of strings" for your info.
I then tried again to enable the nRF Sniffer Capture Tool in Wireshark by:
3.1 Refreshing the Interfaces in Wireshark, by selecting: Capture>Refresh Interfaces
3.2 By selecting: View>Interface Toolbars>nRF Sniffer for Bluetooth LE - (as can be seen on the attached screenshot).
However, I still could not see that the nRF Sniffer is displayed as one of the interfaces on the Wireshark capture screen.
How can this problem be resolved?
