7. Setting the Channel for Capture Linux
Use the ieee802154_options.sh shell script, which is included in the Linux driver tar-ball, to start
capturing IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee frames on any of the 16 channels in the 2.4GHz band.
# sudo ./ieee802154_options.sh –c 26
. If you want to make sure the command has

...
[349673.652872] rndis_host ieee802154 channel is 26
...
Now you can start Wireshark:
# sudo wireshark &
The channel is also shown in the ZigBee encapsulation Protocol dissector:
