Hi,

 

I have an application where I receive specially formed frames from a specific unique MAC address.

Is it possible to register my dissector to a MAC address?

 

All I was able to do was registering a dissector to an ethertype like follows:

dissector_add("ethertype", 0x88ff, test_dissector);

 

But

dissector_add("eth.src", “01:02:03:04:05:06”, test_dissector);

does not work (well actually it can’t, because the second parameter should be guint32).

 

Is there any possibility to do this?

 

Actually, my packet has no unique ethertype so it would be important to register to the unique MAC L (very special application, you see).

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Best regards,

Holger Pfrommer
