Hey,

I am trying to use the MAC-NR dissector with a PCAP that capsules the
PDUs in UDP frames. It wasn't working out of the box but looking into
the code it seems the heuristic isn't enabled by default. The attached
trivial patch fixes the issue and Wireshark can dissect NR PDUs within
UDP packets. Any reason why this isn't enabled by default? What's the
preferred way to create and analyze NR captures?

Yes it is not enabled by default for performance reasons (like the LTE MAC dissector by the way).
Given that it is used by quite few people I do not think it makes sense to enable it by default.

Best regards,
Pascal.
