I've recently noticed that my Wireshark (2.6.10) installed on Mint 19.3 would only propose me to capture Bluetooth traffic with the following Link-layer Header "Bluetooth HCI UART transport layer plus pseudo-header". Is it possible for me to change this ? I'd like to have the "Bluetooth Linux Monitor" Link Layer Header proposed instead.
For now, the way to change it is to switch to a Linux that's not based on Debian; the maintainers of the libpcap Debian package appear to have deliberately disabled the ability to sniff using the Bluetooth monitor mechanism in libpcap.
I don't know why this is, but I've reported it as a Debian bug. Hopefully, they'll fix that, and it'll propagate down to Ubuntu, Mint, etc..
