I'd like to get a patch that adds support for 802.11s packet dissection as well as bringing tags up to date upstream now that ANA assignments have all been finalized. Are there any caveats I should be aware of prior to submitting my patch? i.e. does defining MESH_OVERRIDES as 1 in epan/dissectors/packet-ieee80211.c break anything?
Defining it at all currently: 1) changes the values of several tags, such as TAG_SUPPORTED_CHANNELS, TAG_CHANNEL_SWITCH_ANN, etc. and gets rid of the definitions of other tags, such as TAG_NEIGHBOR_REPORT, TAG_FAST_BSS_TRANSITION, and TAG_WSIE - and removes tables and code that use the latter definitions; 2) enables some code that looks for a mesh header. Presumably, bringing the tags up-to-date includes getting rid of the stuff in 1), as the finalized assignments presumably don't collide with other assignments. If the stuff in 2) causes mis-dissection of packets not in an 802.11s network, then there might have to be a preference setting. Or, to summarize, if there even needs to *be* a MESH_OVERRIDES definition, something is wrong. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
