When capturing from GRE interface in Linux, wireshark correctly uses the Linux
cooked capture mode. However, GRE has different protocol dissector table then
ethernet. So some of the captured packets will be dissected incorrectly.

The attached patch checks sll_hatype field type and if suggest capture on GRE
interface, the packet will be dissected using GRE dissector table. Also prints
physical addresses with length 4 as IPv4 addresses.
