Hi Tyson,

this problem is not related to pcapng, but this restriction is also true for
pcap files.
>From wiretap/pcap-common.c:

        case WTAP_ENCAP_PPP_WITH_PHDR:
                /*
                 * Also special-case PPP with direction bits; map it to
                 * PPP, even though that means that the direction of the
                 * packet is lost.
                 */
                return 9;

I'm not sure why it is this way, but I'll have a look. I'll leave the bug open
for now.

Best regards
Michael
