Hi!

This comment is from the time when I started to experimentally implement 
pcapng.

This was only a rough prototype at that time and as I'm personally only 
using Ethernet, I've only implemented the absolutely necessary stuff.

It's very long ago so I can't remember if there are any further problems 
with anything else then Ethernet.

Seems that you're the first one trying to use it in this way ...
