Hello,

I have been using Ethereal for about a year now and am a very satisfied
user. Recently, I discovered I cannot capture packets with 802.1q tags
while also using a capture filter. It appears the filter tests on the
802.1q tag and since the filter criteria are not met the packet is not
captured. Does anyone have a way around this? Is there a way to construct a capture filter to not check on the VLAN 802.1q tag? Any help or hints greatly appreciated. I run Ethereal 0.10.3 on a Windows 2000 platform.

Thanks for the help,
Phil
