JC,
Thanks for the response.
Re. Question 1: Got it. Thx.
Re. Question 3: Got it. Thx.
Re. Question 2: I tried your suggestion in item 2 but the right click did not lead me to an option to "update the driver". I did take the path that you also suggested and found the directory that is cc'd below. What I find puzzling about the contents of that file is that the comments about the two sections that deal with drivers DON'T refer to System 7 or 10. The comments refer to much older O/S...
A. Windows 2000/XP/Vista-32bit Sections and... B. Vista-64bit Sections QUESTION: How can I find the correct drivers or how can I get the correct drivers on to my system?

JC,
After a couple of hours of fiddling this afternoon, I finally got some capture data via the KW41Z Dongle. I never got any Bluetooth data so I fired up a Wink Controller because I knew that it would emit ZigBee signals. I captured the Wink ZigBee broadcast signals below but, as you can see, I got NO RSSI power data which is the sole reason I'm trying to used the KW41Z in conjunction with Wireshark. I had added the RSSI column properly as far as I know. I even added the "TX rate" column to see if the KW41Z would generate that data. No luck!!
QUESTION: What am I missing? What should I check for at this point?
Cheers,
Bob G.
Hi Bob,
Did you select the BLE Channels?
You can add address filter an look for your specific device.
Then you will see the advertisement information and if you look into the Kinetis Adapter Information, you will find the RSSI value.
Hope it helps.
Best Regards,
Mario
Hi Bob,
You can't see the RSSI value and the TX power. As you can see the Wireshark is not be able to show that values for BLE or 802.15.4. The Wireshark is showing the RSSI value for the 802.11.
The PC is assigning a virtual COM for the KW41Z Dongle, so the PC create an interface and the wireshark is detecting the dongle as an Ethernet connection.
The NXP Test Tool can show the LQI value instead the RSSI, so the Wireshark can't display the values that you are looking for.
But if you are looking a sniffer with the RSSI values, you can use the SW Ubiqua Protocl Analyser
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Mario
