I.e., the interpretation of the CAPTYPE_ values depend on the network type.
The current CAPTYPE_ values, except for CAPTYPE_NDIS and CAPTYPE_GIGPOD, should probably be renamed CAPTYPE_WAN_xxx, to indicate that they only apply to WAN captures (network type 4). CAPTYPE_NDIS should probably be left as is; CAPTYPE_GIGPOD could be renamed CAPTYPE_ETH_GIGPOD, or left as if if the "GIG" implies gigabit Ethernet.
A new #define CAPTYPE_ETH_OTHERPOD, or something such as that, should be added, with a value of 3. The CAPTYPE_PPP values should be used for network type 1, and the CAPTYPE_ETH values should be used for network type 4.
