Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Error in IPv6 address decompression from 6LoWPAN packets

Hello,

After some careful reading, I think there's a bug in Wireshark's IPv6 address decompression from 6LoWPAN packets. The 6LoWPAN header of the packets is IPHC.

Where it shows fe80::ff:fe00:2, it should instead show fe80::22:ff:fe00:2, because 0x22 is the PAN ID (by default).
