Bastian, I modified the Wireshark Connector block to have a “payload  
only” boolean feature that when enabled only passes the payload through  
(when disabled, the block acts like it does now). So far I have only  
used it for WiFi, but the ZigBee fix should be pretty trivial as well.  
Is this something that you would like to see in your mainline, or should  
I just keep it internal?

That sounds great.

Maybe it shouldn’t be an option of the Wireshark block (since it might  
be confusing if it outputs data that cannot be read by Wireshark), but a  
small block on it’s own? I don’t know…

Looking forward to your pull request.

Best,  
Bastian
