One comment:

You've a number of "unterminated" value_string arrays which will need to be
fixed (eg: teklink_vtc_srcnames).

Also: Fairly recently functions to handle "extended value strings" were added
to Wireshark.

Essentially they are an optimization to allow value-strings to be accessed
directly (indexed) or via a binary search with the determination made at
run-time the first time an extended value-string is used.

Extended value-strings could be used instead of code like 
  src > ARRAY_SIZE(teklink_vtc_srcnames) ? "Source unknown" : 
                                            teklink_vtc_srcnames[src].strptr,

All the details are handled for you.

See a recent README.developer.

Also see packet-e212.c (in SVN) for an example of the use of extended
calue-strings.
