Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] RFC: Should ip.addr also match on ARP packets

From: Joerg Mayer <jmayer@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2011 09:51:29 +0100
Hello,

I've created a small patch that will allow ip.addr to match on arp
requests/replies as well as the previous stuff. It comes quite handy
but as this kind of thing is a bit unusual I thought I'd ask first.
There is precedence for matching on another dissector's fields with
ipv6 matching on ipv4's version field.

Ciao
   Jörg

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
