questions about using Wireshark to monitor the Mesh

[Bryan Berry]

I have installed Wad's patched version Wireshark on my School Server and
captured a whole ton of packets on msh0.

I have assumed that the wireshark-0.99.7.mesh.i386.rpm and
wireshark-gnome-0.99.7.mesh.i386.rpm are already patched and I don't
have to apply the .patch file. Please correct me if I am wrong.

When I looked at the captured packets in Wireshark the Info column reads
[Malformed Packet] . I was hoping to see something much more informative
about the mesh protocols, IPv6, mdns, and other cool stuff I don't quite
understand.

Is there something wrong w/ my install of Wireshark or does this version
not yet display the juicy bits?
