Hi all,

I am reporting a bug in Ethereal for ISIS protocol.

1. Ethereal: 0.9.16 Windows Binary version
2. OS: Windows XP Home Edition 2002 (Chinese version) ver. 5.1 (internal version 2600.xpclnt_qfe.(021108-2107))
3. NIC: Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection.
In Ethereal, it reads: Intel(R) PRO Adapter (Microsoft's Packet Scheduler) : \Device\NPF_{BFE574B4-090E-471D-BDCC-DF49D9BE57A2}
4. Error in Ethereal:
In displaying IS-IS L1/L2 LSP, the ATT bit definition is wrong:
            .000 1... = Attachment: 1
                0... = Default metric: Unset
                .0.. = Delay metric: Unset
                ..0. = Expense metric: Unset
                ...1 = Error metric: Set
It should be:
            .000 1... = Attachment: 1
                0... = Error metric: Unset
                .0.. = Expense metric: Unset
                ..0. = Delay metric: Unset
                ...1 = Default metric: Set

Here is the "File->Print..." output:
