nRF Dongle as sniffer won't sniff properly

[Imperatori]

Hi,

I'm using the nRF Dongle for sniffing. Apparently there are many problems with the sniffer application.

First of all, the CTRL+R command for downloading the FW did not work. I had to install the HEX manually (apparently no softdevice is needed?)

I tried to update the Segger Jlink FW and to change the hopping frequency but I still do not see any connection request nor data transfer in the sniffing packets. I see only ADV and SCAN requests.

I'm able to see SCAN responses only if I select 1 hopping channel.

Here are the FW/SW infos from my device:

 NORDIC SEMICONDUCTOR SNIFFER SOFTWARE v.1.0.1_1111

   Sniffer ready and connected on COM57
   Software version      SVN rev. 1111
   Firmware version      SVN rev. 1111
   Nordic Plugin version version information unavailable
   BTLE Plugin version   SVN rev. 1111

Any hint?

Regards Giona

To see connections, you have to set device you want to snif, before starting wireshark. (in cli)

That was it! Thanks!
