I'm guessing the Listener/Tap is only registered in the menu callback. In
TShark, you want the tap to auto-register. If you're indeed doing this
already, please provide a snippet.

Your script should check
gui_enabled<http://wiki.wireshark.org/LuaAPI/GUI#gui_enabled.28.29>
() (or the variable GUI_ENABLED) to determine whether the tap registration
should occur by menu or automatically (see similar
example<http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users/201201/msg00048.html>
).
