Yes me, currently only Dataframes are supported and when you get an
another frametype then it will show this message.

So your frametype is 0 and this is a beacon frame. We don't handle
beacon frames at the moment. But you don't get any (type = 2)?

I had some bad experience to using wireshark on a lowpan device. It
doesn't show the mac header... but this isn't unusual. It's because
the current architecture with a wpan and a lowpan device. I need to
think about this if we can handle this anyway.

if you using ssh you should already used some fragmentation. Try a ping6
-s $SOME_SIZE_MORE_THAN_127 (my contiki usb stick can handle up to 1024
bytes and a smaller sensornode can handle 135 bytes. It's possible to
use a (2^16)-(PING_ICMPv6_HEADER) size but this will end in a high 
fragmentation.
In a linux<->linux connection without ACKs I can use ~8KB without
trouble and this sounds good. In a normal sensornetwork you don't want a
8KB payload)
