As learned from here http://wiki.wireshark.org/HowToDecrypt802.11
Edit -> Preferences->Protocol->IEEE802.11->Enable Encryption->Key
I've added the wpa2 keys into the section of wireshark as required but
still got the same output.
Somehow I am not receiving the direct reply to the post, only
receiving the reply through the daily digest.

You will only see the TCP traffic if it is not encrypted. since you
are encrypting with wpa2 you are going to need to decrypt that traffic
to see the real encapsulated layer 3 packet.
