Perhaps, although throwing something *only* into the 802.11 dissector to
have it make the columns non-writable, and to have it save the address
fields and restore them after the sub-dissector returns, is a bit of a
hack; somebody might, for example, also want to see only TCP-layer
summary information.  A more general way of specifying at which layer
the summary decodes should stop might be called for here.


Agreed.  Perhaps even by a relative number of layers, which would
allow for a capture originating at either level (i.e. raw 802.11 frames
vs. Ethernet vs. libpcap filtered TCP) without having to make a hack
for the 802.11 dissector only.
