Patch against SVN 37390
This patch uses the tvb_reported_length() API instead of tvb_length().
The wpan.frame_length field is required because data gets into Wireshark
through a variety of ways. The 802.15.4 MAC header itself doesn't have a length
field, that is at the PHY level, which is often not passed to wireshark.
For example if you use the ZEP protocol (Zigbee Encapsulation Layer), you would
need to filter on zep.length. If you use raw capture hardware (e.g.: ethernet
emulation) you don't have this. Frame.len seems to be the wrong size, as it
includes everything below the 802.15.4 frame:
$tshark -T fields -e wpan.frame_length -e frame.len -r ethtest.pcap
