"Different data" in what sense? The information in the summary line
printed when you run Tethereal without "-V" doesn't match the
information in the detailed description of the packet printed when you
run Tethereal with "-V"?

Does the same thing happen with Ethereal? I.e., if you click on a packet
in the packet list window, does the detailed description in the protocol
tree pane conflict with the summary information in the line you clicked
on?

Where are the values of "type" and "id" coming from?
