Log:
Add a new Wiretap encapsulation type WTAP_ENCAP_FDDI_BITSWAPPED, meaning
"FDDI with the MAC addresses bit-swapped"; whether the MAC addresses are
bit-swapped is a property of the machine on which the capture was taken,
not of the machine on which the capture is being read - right now, none
of the capture file formats we read indicate whether FDDI MAC addresses
are bit-swapped, but this does let us treat non-"libpcap" captures as
being bit-swapped or not bit-swapped independent of the machine on which
they're being read (and of the machine on which they were captured, but
I have the impression they're bit-swapped on most platforms), and allows
us to, if, as, and when we implement packet capture in Wiretap, mark
packets in a capture file written in Wiretap-native format based on the
machine on which they are captured (assuming the rule "Ultrix, Alpha,
and BSD/OS are the only platforms that don't bit-swap", or some other
compile-time rule, gets the right answer, or that some platform has
drivers that can tell us whether the addresses are bit-swapped).
(NOTE: if, for any of the capture file formats used only on one
platform, FDDI MAC addresses aren't bit-swapped, the code to read that
capture file format should be fixed to flag them as not bit-swapped.)
Use the encapsulation type to decide whether to bit-swap addresses in
"dissect_fddi()".
