I have a custom interface generating packet data. I'd like to use
wireshark to display them and dissect the packets.

The dissection I can do with dissector plugins, but how can I feed the
packet data to wireshark?

Make a patch to libpcap/WinPcap to support your custom interface?  That way, not only will Wireshark support it without 
any changes, but other programs that use libpcap/WinPcap could support it as well.
