fe80::8581:22ac:be65:4e54, for example, is most emphatically *NOT* a MAC
address.  Trust me, it's an IPv6 address, just as are all the other addresses
in the Capture Interfaces window in your first screenshot.  It's what's called
a "link-local" address; see, for example:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms737595(VS.85).aspx

Nothing happens if you move the mouse cursor on top of one of the addresses
under "IP" and click?  It might not be visually obvious that you can click on
those addresses, but, at least in the top-of-tree version of Wireshark, you
can.

Wireshark does not fetch data from interfaces; WinPcap does.  It might be that
Wireshark is not correctly displaying what WinPcap fetches, or it might be that
WinPcap is not fetching the right data - or it might be that the adapter
driver, for at least some adapters, is not supplying the right data.

What does the command "ipconfig/all" print?
