If you are using a fixed ethertype, then the ieee1905 dissector (packet-ieee1905.c) does this: void proto_reg_handoff_ieee1905(void) { static dissector_handle_t ieee1905_handle; ieee1905_handle = create_dissector_handle(dissect_ieee1905, proto_ieee1905); dissector_add_uint("ethertype", ETHERTYPE_IEEE_1905, ieee1905_handle); eapol_handle = find_dissector("eapol"); } You can ignore the eapol_handle stuff unless you also plan to use EAPOL (ieee801.X) in your protocol. -- Regards, Richard Sharpe (何以解憂?唯有杜康。--曹操)(传说杜康是酒的发明者) ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev@wireshark.org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
