Request for DECT LINKTYPE

Hi,

we have a set of opensource tools that read and write pcap files from/to
DECT devices. The SW will go public still this year. We're working with
both gnuradio USRP and a dedicated HW.

For what you may want to know there are basically 3 types of DECT out
there (from what I know):

1) DECT - the first real and widely used in europe and asia

2) DECT6.0 - a very new US variant, operating like 1) but slightly
different radio channels

3) US-DECT, aka WDCT - a 2.4GHz variant with channelhopping, all
differnt Layer 1 than 1) and 2)

our HW, as probably most HW out there supports both 1) and 2),
but not 3).

so you may want to reserve 2 LINKTYPE values, call them LINKTYPE_DECT
and LINKTYPE_USDECT or the like.

best regards,

matthias
