Hello list,

I have some M2PA captures which Ethereal tries to dissect as M2UA (the SCTP port for M2UA and M2PA are the same).

So I try disabling M2UA thinking that then M2PA will be used. But it's not...

Looking in 'dissector_try_port()' it basically tries the first dissector it finds in the table and will return FALSE if that dissector is disabled (so that other dissectors can have a chance). But what if there is another dissector in there (or is that possible?)?

Is there any way for me to get this to work short of changing the M2UA port on my builds (or removing it altogether)? Am I just missing something?

Thanks,
-Jeff
