I’m currently sniffing a stream that is using 802.1QinQ tagging.  As long as the outer tag is set to 8100 Ethereal seems to parse the packet correctly, showing both outer tag & vlan id as well as inner tag and vlan id.  When the outer tag is set to 9100, Ethereal displays all remaining information in the packet as data.  Has anyone else seen this behavior??   Is there a solution that will cause Ethereal to recognize the packet as an 802.1QinQ with a 9100 outer tag??
