Comment # 5 on bug 8522 from 
Yuck. So, the "eth" heuristic table is only for protocols that are not ethernet
at all but might have ethernet framing (thus the fact that they get called with
the whole payload).

Your test packet contains an ethernet 802.3 header. As far as I can tell from
reading the code, there is no way to register subdissectors for that payload at
all - the code claims that Logical Link Control is the only valid protocol to
be carried on raw 802.3 of this form.

At this point we're beyond my knowledge of the protocols involved. Is DVB-S2
doing something 'improper' when it's carried over raw 802.3? Is the comment in
the ethernet dissector wrong?
