Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] [patch] Updates for the packet-wlancap dissector

From: Solomon Peachy <solomon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2007 14:55:14 -0400
Howdy, folks!

The attached patch (against r23226) does three things:

1) Updates the capture_wlancap() function to properly handle the varying 
   lengths of the different frame formats properly.
2) Minor tweaks to the dissector to bring it in line with the latest 
   specs.
3) Lastly, don't try to decode newer versions of the header.

In the next day or so, I'll be following up with another patch that adds 
support for a new rev of the avs_wlancap header -- but I wanted to get 
this out first.

Thanks!

 - Solomon
