Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Just what sort of Lua object to pass to DissectorTable.add?

Hi folks,

The following Lua code is failing:

  ent_table = DissectorTable.get("ethertype")
  ent_table.add(35132, some_proto)

It gets the following error:

   bad argument #1 to 'add' (userdata expected, got number)

That is occurring for the add.

How do I fix this? What sort of userdata is expected here?
