I´ve written a dissector (MUX27010) for wireshark and I want to commit it to the project. Therefore I need a new DLT 
value for this dissector/protocol because the protocol doesn´t base upon another data link layer protocol.
What the dissector does: It analyses a multiplexed communication between a GSM modem and the host, whereby the 
multiplexing is based upon the specification 3G TS 27.010.

So does a packet begin with the address field, as described by TS 27.010 section 5.2.1.2, followed by the section 
5.2.1.3 control field, followed by the information field if present? (Or does it, for example, include the flag octets 
- in which case the packet contents presumably escape that octet value - or do something else?
