I have added some minor features to the CVS tree:

CDP detection (no disassembling (yet) - does someone know where to get the spec?)
(CDP -> Cisco discovery Protocol)

Ethernet Loop  Cisco Routers send this packets every 10 seconds (default) to
               detect wether or not Layer 2 is active on their interface
	       (this Ethertype is specified in rfc 17?? assigned numbers)

BTW: Ethereal should specify in the Ethernet II tree,
      wether or not the DST is a Link Layer Broad/Multicast (Bit 1) AND
      it should display wether the MAC Addresses are local or global (Bit 2)
    

changes have been made in the following files:

packet-cdp.c (new)
etypes.h
ethertype.c
Makefile.am
packet.h
