>From my reading of the README.developer, I expected tethereal to decode
packets the same way that the ethereal GUI does. I made some
modifications to packet-ethertype.c to make it decode some "special"
ethertypes correctly, and added a column to the GUI display to show an
interpretation of those types. It works great for the GUI (and was
pretty straightforward to implement).

But when I try tethereal -V, it looks as if it never passes through the
ethertype function.

Do I have to do something in addition to make the tethereal decode work
too?

Thanks (I'm a novice at this, obviously :-),
