Subject: Re: [Ethereal-dev] Help With Plug-in Dissector
Your dissector needs to register itself to the "ethertype" dissector
call. Look at how packet-ipx.c does it:
ipx_handle = find_dissector("ipx");
dissector_add("ethertype", ETHERTYPE_IPX, ipx_handle);
In this case, ETHERTYPE_IPX is defined as 0x8137 in etypes.h in the
top-level directory of the Ethereal source code.
