Hi,

The 802.11 dissector does not populate the wlan.fc.from_ds and wlan.fc.to_ds
fields when it dissects packets. This means that filters like:

wlan.fc.fromds == 1 and wlan.fc.tods == 1

do not work. You can use a filter like:

wlan.fc.ds == 3

however it is not obvious to a user why the latter works and the former
doesn't. Attached is a patch to fix this problem.

Regards,

Chris Waters
