Hello list,
I am building a wireshark plugin for a proprietary protocol that is
using the IEEE 802a (OUI Extended Ethertype) standard. I noticed in the
wireshark source code that there is a helper function to allow OUIs to
be registered with the 802a ethertype (ieee802a_add_oui), but it is not
exported in the windows libwireshark.dll. The changes to enable this
are small, but unfortunately it means I must provide an updated version
of the libwireshark.dll to all users of the plugin - it would be nice if
this was part of the next wireshark release.
I have attached a (tiny) patch, gzipped as per instructions on the
development webpage, that adds the ieee802a_add_oui function to
libwireshark.def, and also adds the OUI that I am using to a couple of
internal lists (in epan/oui.h and dissectors/packet-llc.c).
Please let me know if these are unsuitable for the mainline source, or
if I should submit the patch in a different form.
- Thanks,
David Pelton.
