Is there a way to configure the Ethereal to identify customs tag types
for 802.1q?
Write a dissector to handle frames with an Ethernet type equal to the new tag type, and add it to Ethereal. (I'm assuming that the VLAN headers aren't the same as those for 0x8100 - if they're the same as for 0x8100, you just modify the VLAN dissector to register for those Ethernet types as well.)
