Er, well, I'n not sure I can post the packet because of (insert legalese FUD
here). And editing out some info is going to be a PITA (who knows how to
recalculate all the checksum, index, etc on all layers...)

However, If I have the time to figure out proper decoding, I can certainly
send a patch. When I looked at the code, there was certainly some TODO
lingering there.

Hi,
If you could post the packet it might be trivial to fix "proper" decoding.

The basic problem is that de_bearer_cap() is declared as static in 
packet-gsm_a_dtap.c: that means no other module (.c file) can use it. 
If you remove the keyword "static" it will at least link.  (Of course it 
would also be better to have a prototype in a header file, etc.)
