Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] More issues with network monitor 3.3 traces

Well I downloaded Version 1.5.0-SVN-33606 (SVN Rev 33606 from /trunk) and was able to read and decode the first network monitor 3.3 trace but not another. The second gives me the error "The capture file has a packet with a network a network type Wireshark doesn't support. (netmon: network type 0 unknown or unsupported)."

Also I discovered the following when displaying the first trace. I have a display filter of "ssl" and the TCP preference "Validate the TCP checksum if possible" is checked

But when I uncheck the TCP preference "Validate the TCP checksum if possible" the trace changes to

Why should validating the checksum change the interpretation of the data?
