dissector_table:add(..) with a range pref item doesn't work in older Wireshark versions. This was introduced in 48dc2393.

This affects even the version that is by default available on platforms such as Ubuntu Trusty (which has 1.10.x).

Thanks for posting this. Now I need to go get the newer wireshark I guess.

You can use ppa:wireshark-dev/stable to install a 2.x+ version of Wireshark that is compatible with the dissector on Ubuntu Trusty and up.
