Two values, actually.  The one you're using is the "802.15 without the 
address fields being padded".

However, the person who requested that DLT_ value might not be putting a 
pseudo-header at the beginning of the frame, as you're doing, or might 
be putting a different pseudo-header there.

We need to resolve that before checking in your code; I've sent you and 
the person who requested that DLT_ value private mail (so we don't 
bother the list with the discussion - and so that, if they're not on the 
wireshark-dev list, they don't have problems responding) about this.
