Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Writing a wtap module for CommView WLAN Analyzer and Decoder NCFX format files

[Richard Sharpe <realrichardsharpe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

I am thinking of writing a wtap module to read ComView WLAN Analyzer
and Decoder NCFS format files.

They are a little like PCAP files with a radiotap header, but their
format is quite different from the radiotap format. It contains much
of the same info but it is in a different format. The spec is here:

https://www.tamos.com/htmlhelp/commwifi/logformat.htm

The main things of interest are the 802.11ax info.

One way to handle it would be to convert their info to a standard
radiotap header but it looks kind of complicated to handle that.

Another approach might be to use a new or different WTAP type and
write a separate dissector for those headers.

Any thoughts?
