    Can someone indicate to me the way to get the name of the companie

    ethernet dissector but I found that is the call to
    proto_tree_add_ether() that seem to do the job. In my case I
    want to display only the 3 bytes from the payload.

I'm not quite sure about your specific problem.
The manufacturer name resolving of the first three byte portion of an Ethernet MAC address is read in from the "manuf" file of the distribution. 

I think this is done in the epan/addr_resolv.c file.
If you want to *suppress* the manufaturer part of that address (I'm not sure why you would like to do that), you might have a look at the various epan/dissectors/packet-eth*.c files. 

Hope this helps,
