Then that might be best handled with

    1) a preference for the frame dissector, similar to the "dissect all
Ethernet frames as DOCSIS frames", to dissect all Ethernet frames as DVB-S2
frames

and

    2) a LINKTYPE_/DLT_ value for raw DVB-S2 and libpcap/WinPcap extensions to
allow that DLT_ to be selected on Ethernet interfaces, just as is done for
DOCSIS, and support for that LINKTYPE_ value in pcap and pcap-ng files in
Wireshark.
