I just checked in a change for the lapb dissector : the type of the
control field is now FT_UINT8.
All dissectors using dissect_xdlc_control should use an integer type for
the control field.

This is not the case in v120. The type of the control field is
FT_STRING, and the length of the field seems to be variable (8 or 16
bits).
But the according to the following URL :
http://www.acacia-net.com/Clarinet/Protocol/v12029v7.htm
the control field is 8 bits long.

Does anybody know who is correct ? Can I change the type of the control
field to FT_UINT8 ?
