Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Calling other dissectors

[Marc Van Riet <marc.vanriet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We're having a setup where ethernet packet X  of a certain source is 
captured, wrapped in another packet (together with some logging 
information) and re-transmitted over another ethernet port.

I've written a dissector that displays our logging information.  I 
display the original ethernet packet X as hex data.  How can I make 
ethereal show packet X decoded as an ethernet packet ?

The documentation on using dissector_next() is scarce.  Is 
dissect_next() obsolete ? How is the protocol type determined when 
calling dissector_next() ? I've read the documentation from James Coe 
e.a., but am still lost.

Best regards,
Marc
