See https://code.wireshark.org/review/23065 It could probably use some review for "naming". I'm not familiar enough with the dissector to know if fields/dissector table name makes sense. In regards to not already having a dissector table, not all developers think about it, especially if there is only a case or two. Then a situation like yours comes along, and it gets changed. It also looks like "public fields" may need its own dissector table for vendor specific functionality too.
I would love to give this some thought, and may do, but the damn IEEE802.11 2012 spec is 2600+ pages long! -- Regards, Richard Sharpe (何以解憂?唯有杜康。--曹操) ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
