Hi,

This is a good start. Now go ahead and decode the other options as well and then open a bug report and attach the patch to that.
See http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/PatchHandling

Thanx,
Jaap

A capture file and a patch would be very nice indeed.

Thanks!

Here's a patch that handles suboption 6. I haven't added the other suboptions
because I was too lazy to check any format particularities. I've also changed
the error message.
