If the header is always identifiable easily, you could write a heuristic dissector for "frame" and work from there.

Hello all,

I have some capture files with packets encapsulated under ethernet. But

these packets have a short header before the mac addresses and I am

trying to write a dissector that would run before the ethernet one,

parse the header and then call the ethernet dissector to continue parsing

the rest of the packet.

I was not able to find any example of this being done and I guess it would

involve changing the entry in the wtap_encap table to replace the eth

dissector.

Any ideas on how this could be done?

All the best,

Mihai
