Hi.. I would like to be able to disable the 802.1Q vlan ID value as a column in the packet list window. I see I am able to customise which columns appear there, but vlan ID doesn't appear in the surprising small list of possible options.
For example, I'ld like to see the tag where I've written [300] in the line below: 

1   0.000000    10.1.1.1    224.0.0.10    [300] EIGRP    74   Hello
Is there a way to do this.. and in fact, why is the 'format' list so restrictive ? I originally thought it may be limited to things that are valid for *all* packets, such as they time they arrived, how large they are, etc, but that doesn't seem to be true for all values of 'Format', so there must be another reason.
