Hello,

It's my understanding Wireshark has 802.15.4 support in it since version 
1.0.0. However I'm trying to understand how to enable this...

My hardware shows up as an ethernet interface, so I've routed the raw 802.15.4 
packets as data encapsulated by an ethernet header. The ethernet header has 
the ETHTYPE set to "0x809A", just a value that didn't seem to be used for 
anything so I'm using for testing.

If I right-click on these received packets and select "decode as", I don't see 
the "wpan" option. Which is kinda what I was hoping would happen, as that 
roughly ends my knowledge of wireshark!

How do I get wireshark to decode these as 802.15.4 packets?

Thanks,

  -Colin
