There has also
been discussions about making a new FT, FT_OID where this would fit nicely
IMHO if that is done one could always make a fake MIB to define OID
translations or we should keep one for the translations we are already
doing.



Interesting. I had looked at adding a new FT for OIDs as I wanted to
be able to add a menu item ("Field Info") to the packet info menu.
This would bring up a description of an OID - with the URL specified
as a preference (e.g. http://oid.elibel.tm.fr/2.2.1.0.1 or
http://www.alvestrand.no/objectid/2.2.1.0.1.html).

My inexperience with asn2eth put me off, so if someone else was to
implement an FT_OID ...



I have prepared basic FT_OID support.
I will relese it ASAP.
It is only basic support of dot notation. Some kind of "name resolution" can be implemented later (I do not plan to do it becasuse I have only little experinece with OIDs usage)
