Can you upload a small capture file?  Screenshots are not that useful for
testing purposes.

The Profinet IO dissector heuristic code seems to specifically treat the byte
as a version (u8CBAVersion) and handles dissection differently if it's 0x11. 
>From what I can tell, this would appear to happen at line 9385 (see:

Since I don't have access to the Profinet IO Specifications (at
http://www.profibus.com/download/specifications-standards/, presumably), I
can't verify whether this is correct or not.
