I notice this patch removes support for dissecting the CRN field. I
would be happier if this was not applied because packet-iscsi.c needs
to support multiple versions of the iSCSI protocol through the magic
of conditional compilation. I am sure that a lot of people are still
using initiators/targets based on earlier versions of the protocol.

The fact that, in reality, the CRN field is probably used by no-one
does not make any difference to me, I believe that ethereal should
still be able to handle it for protocol versions earlier than draft
12.

Cheers,

Mark
