Buy the way, for the user it looks like wireshark does support InfiniBand -

The help that would be needed here would be code for Wireshark to interpret 
LINKTYPE_INFINIBAND, which, according to

        http://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes.html

is

        Raw InfiniBand frames, starting with the Local Routing Header, as 
specified in Chapter 5 "Data packet format" of InfiniBand™ Architectural 
Specification Release 1.2.1 Volume 1 - General Specifications.

Currently, Wireshark includes no code to process those frames, so it cannot 
handle LINKTYPE_INFINIBAND pcap files or packets for LINKTYPE_INFINIBAND 
interfaces in pcapng files.
