I'm using a Nordic nrf52840 based dongle to sniff the connection to a gamepad.  When I bring up connect options, it shows dashes in the promiscuous column, which I cannot change.  I am running:
 
npcap 1.80
JLink V7.94i
nrfutil 7.13.0
Wireshark 4.4.2 (v4.4.2-0-g9947b17309f4).

 
I have re-installed everything multiple times.  Advertising packets come through just fine, but no others.  I can run a game, which responds to the gamepad.
 
Any suggestions of where to look would be appreciated.

Have you looked through past questions on the Nordic Q&A site?

Thanks for the suggestion.  I did not see any, but I did post the question there.  Certainly their shim loaded into the dongle is one of the usual suspects.
