The KISS protocol patch dissects the KISS protocol, it is more then just the
KISS byte seen in the Linux AX25 network stack packets.

LINKTYPE_AX25_KISS: ah, in my haste to get these patches on the ticket I might
have missed something :-)


> The "AX.25 protocol patch" should handle, among other things, the
AX.25-over-IP packets.

I have tried to keep each patch to one subject, e.g. AX.25 protocol patch only
adds the ax.25 dissector.  AX.25-over-IP, I would make another patch, however
it would appear to already be covered.

I have a suite of incremental patches for tcpdump similar to the set for
Wireshark.  Seeing your comment about LINKTYPE_AX25_KISS above I might need to
do a little more before you want those patches.
