Hi.

Is there a way to dissect a packet (saved in a capture file) with a
different link layer than the one saved for that packet?

E.g. I have an ethernet packet ("ethernet" in the sense that the link layer
info in the trace file says so), and I want to dissect it as token ring.

"Decode as" seems to work from the ethertype field on, but not at the lower
level of the link type.

Have a nice day
