Tha's a shame. I'd assumed that pcap files were "packet type" agnostic i.e.
there could be a mix of packets with any type of protocol (with some internal
packet identifying header preceding them), so inserting an 802.2 "comment"
packet within a file containing e.g. ppp frames, would still be ok. By the
sounds of what you're saying, the capture file has a header that specifies that
all the contained packets are of the same general type. Is that the case?
