cool. I was planning to work on it today, so I guess I don't need to worry
about it anymore :)

I'll check it out later today (more cvs problems right now).

How complex it would be to implement?

Basically we need to look if there's "more" flag set at EAP/TLE glue
layer, if so there will be more distinct packets. The last fragment will
not have "more" flag set. They all should add to size as specificed by the
Length Field (it is always set in the first fragment, and optionally in
later fragments).

The way I see the biggest issue is to "find" those other packets.
