My dongles work on windows, however on Mac OS (Monterey 12.7.5) with Wireshark 4.2.5 with Python 3.11.9 Im not having much luck. Installed the nrf802154_sniffer.py in the extcap folder, when I run ./nrf802154_sniffer.py --extcap-interfaces I get extcap {version=0.7.2}{help=https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/nRF-Sniffer-for-802.15.4}{display=nRF Sniffer for 802.15.4} interface {value=/dev/cu.usbmodem14101}{display=nRF Sniffer for 802.15.4} interface {value=/dev/cu.usbmodem14103}{display=nRF Sniffer for 802.15.4} control {number=6}{type=button}{role=logger}{display=Log}{tooltip=Show capture log}

Any ideas why I have the double entry, don't seem to get this on Windows?

sudo is required. Have you tried sudo wireshark

sudo open /Applications/Wireshark.app works for me, must have missed in the documentation where I have to do that, bit confused why also! Thanks tho

For reference I have to connect to the higher value interface (14103) for it to work.

Running Wireshark with sudo is never a good idea.
