yeah, now I need to do statistic about MS capability, but I found that it is difficult to extract the filed of MS capabiliy, so I need to develop myself.
I never try to develop the source code before, so it's headache for me!

This function is easy to implement, because it does not need all the work of setting up fieldnames. Please read the file README.developer in the source tree to get an idea on how to add fields in Wireshark. It also gives a broader perspective on development for Wireshark. Of course the Developers Guide on the Wireshark website is a good starting point on getting a build environment up and running.

Probably the dissection of "MS Radio Access Capability" should be handled in packet-gsm_a_gm.c and packet-bssgp.c made to call that code.
