I uploaded a new version of the dvb-ci dissector to the bugtracker a
week ago, fixing the issues you found when reviewing the code. Before
that, I requested a DLT at the tcpdump workers list.  Unfortunately,
there's been no response yet. Any chance you can have a look and help me
progress this? (Guy, are you assigning the DLT values?)

Thanks,
