I am currently writing a packet dissector to analyze the networking
traffic that we are generating in our application.  We send the packets
on a closed network (without outside access) and we send them directly
in an ethernet packet.  I can't figure out what to specify as the
handoff point between the ethernet dissector and mine.  I see a lot of 
"dissector_add("ethertype", ...)".  But that will handoff only based on
the type field in the ethernet spec.  The handoff should occur on every
single ethernet packet that is on the network.  How would I do that?

P.S.  I am not subscribed to the list, so please respond to me
personally.
