Now I can dissect the ethernet payload data. but in the ethernet header, the
protocol tree still show the 0x8888 is "unknow" type.
How can I change it to my protocol name ?


look at epan/etypes.h and epan/dissectors/packet-ethertype.c
Should we have the Ethernet dissector load a list of Ethernet types and protocol names from a file, and generate the value_string table from that?
