When we start Wireshark with -i option to capture from a named pipe, if we set
the data link type as Ethernet(1) or MTP2_WITH_PHDR(139), everything is OK and
it works. But if we set the data link type to something like LAPD(181), the
pipe does not work and Wireshark does not capture anything.
I think the pipe mechanism works for some data link types and fails for some
others.
