I'd like to display SNMP information symbolically, and so I'll need to 
load mibs.
But I haven't found where to do that in Wireshark 1.0.3 on Ubuntu 
Intrepid (i386).
"Preferences -> Protocols -> SNMP" says: "MIB settings can be changed in 
the Name Resolution preferences"
However
"Preferences -> Name Resolution" has no mention of SNMP or SMI at all. 
(Even though numerous mailing list posts also suggest this is where to 
configure it)
Does anybody know how I can get wireshark to show ifInOctets.34 instead 
of .1.3.1<bla bla bla> by loading MIBs under ubuntu?

More information:
All my MIBs are in /usr/share/snmp/mibs (the standard place on 
ubuntu/debian for SNMP MIBs). I've tried installing all these packages:
libsmi2-common	0.4.7+dfsg-0.1
libsmi2-dev	0.4.7+dfsg-0.1
libsmi2ldbl	0.4.7+dfsg-0.1
libsnmp-base	5.4.1~dfsg-7.1ubuntu6.1
libsnmp15	5.4.1~dfsg-7.1ubuntu6.1
snmp	5.4.1~dfsg-7.1ubuntu6.1
Which means I should have both NET-SNMP and libsmi installed.
This article suggests libsmi.
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.wireshark.user/4330/match=mibs
So I installed libsmi2-common libsmi2-dev and libsmi2ldbl. No joy.
This post also mentions "Preferences->Name Resolution->SMI (MIB and PIB) 
paths" and suggests putting mibs in C:\Program Files\Wireshark\snmp\mibs:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.wireshark.user/6039/match=mibs
So I tried:
$ mkdir -p ~/.wireshark/snmp/mibs
$ cp /usr/share/snmp/mibs/* ~/.wireshark/snmp/mibs/
No joy. (Don't know where else to try)
