If you have any COL_DEF_DST, COL_DEF_SRC, COL_DEF_DL_DST, or COL_DEF_DL_SRC columns, presumably changing the MAC name 
resolution option could (in the case of COL_DEF_{DST,SRC} and packets with no network-layer address) or would (in the 
case of COL_DEF_DL_{DST,SRC}) change what the columns display, right?

If so, you would have to redissect the complete capture with the old packet list, but it shouldn't be necessary for the 
new packet list, you'd just need to arrange that all the currently visible packets in the packet list be redisplayed 
(which should cause *those* packets to be redissected)...

...unless the display is sorted by one of those columns, in which case you would also need to re-sort the display.

I think that'll arrange that all the currently visible packets in the packet list be redisplayed (but I don't know what 
you need to do to provoke a re-sort).

That, as indicated, involves redissecting everything.  I think you'd need redissect_packets() for that.
