looks promising, but:

	GString *error_string;
	gchar *temp;
	temp=(gchar *)g_malloc(10);
	sprintf(temp,"hello");
	error_string=register_tap_listener("ip", temp, "ip.version ==
4",myreset,mypacket,mydraw);
	
	if(error_string){
		fprintf(stderr, "Couldn't register ipsec %s\n",error_string->str);
		g_free(temp);
		g_string_free(error_string,TRUE);
		exit(1);
	}


drops runtime with:

Err  file syntax-tree.c: line 81 (sttype_lookup): assertion failed:
(result != NULL)

any idea why?

thanks,

well, I'm trying to to verify an AH packet. I've pretty much
structured the dissector but still I need the IP header information to
compile a buffer along with the rest of the payload to verification
module.

I'm reading the README.tapping file right now, but was hoping to do it
without touching the IP dissector

thanks
