Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: RE: [Ethereal-dev] How change the display of the ethertype inprotocol tree

Hi,

ETHERTYPE 8888 is owned by:

8888         Santera Systems                                               Protocol unavailable.
             2901 Summit Ave.
             Suite 100
             Plano TX 75074
             UNITED STATES
If you are dissecting that protocol you could submitt a patch to Ethereal defining the ETHERYPE and the name, otherwise apply for an ethertype for your protocol with IEEE.

Thanks very much!

But because my dissector is build as a plugin. I want it will work absolute. and no need build all the ethereal source code. however, if I modify the epan/etypes.h and epan/dissectors/packet-ethertype.c, I must build  the whole ethereal code. and distribute it with large package. Is there other way to change the type name ?

look at epan/etypes.h and epan/dissectors/packet- ethertype.c

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
