If I understand it correct, I would have to examine pcap file from ulogd and compare it with standard pcap form wireshark. It seems to be very hard work.

As I read in "man iptables"  * the ULOG target is as made for such case I'm searching.
Wireshark should offer such possibility to mark/colorize packets which are send to defined netlink socket (==ULOG target).

I would be surprised if such functionality would lack in wireshark.
Is it sure wireshark do not have it ?
