Hello Henri,

It has been a while since we last mailed, I hope you are doing fine!

The PEAK-CAN to Wireshark question came up again, and I started to work on
it based on this wonderful piece of code:
https://github.com/theXappy/ExtcapNet

I also reached the point to figure out how to handle over the CAN messages
via extcap question.
Would it be possible to share the code with me? I would only need the
extcap packet format for CAN 2.0B packets.

Many thanks in advance!
