Hello,
I got a new DLT_ value for raw LAPD from
tcpdump.org i.e 203;
I was advised earlier by the WireShark Dev as below
__________________________________________________________
> If you can't use the Linux LAPD DLT (even by faking the headers?)

Where Can I know how to fake the headers? If I know that would be
easy for me, since I dont need to change the wiretap library and wireshark
code.

__________________________________________________________
I went through this bug,
http://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=953&action="">
According to this there are some changes that I need to do to
the wtap.c/wtap.h
Can I please know the connection between wiretap library and the
libpcap library. Cant I anyhow wait without changing the wiretap
library. I thought it is a substitute for libpcap.
Is libpcap just on of the types that wireshark Understand?
Thanks
Varuna
