Sounds like you need the development release of Wireshark and extcap.

Extcap allows external "capturing" programs to present a configuration UI in wireshark and then pass captured data back to Wireshark using a pipe and is aimed to work on all the platforms Wireshark runs on.

Unfortunately there isn't much documentation on extcap at this time, there is an example extcap program in the sources under docs\extcap_example.py and a SharkFest 2013 presentation.
