Folks,

I've seen a couple of places where I have received a hex dump of a packet, in
this common hex dump format:

00000000  00 E0 1E A7 05 6F 00 10 5A A0 B9 12 08 00 46 00 .....o..Z.....F.
00000010  03 68 00 00 00 00 0A 2E EE 33 0F 19 08 7F 0F 19 .h.......3.....
00000020  03 80 94 04 00 00 10 01 16 A2 0A 00 03 50 00 0C .............P..
00000030  01 01 0F 19 03 80 11 01 1E 61 00 0C 03 01 0F 19 .........a......

It would be useful to have a decoder that could read this sort of thing
directly as a
packet; one could then use the "Decode packet as" feature to decode the data
as a specific type of packet. If something like this doesn't already exist, I
will write one.

Thoughts?
