TBH, I think this would be much better off integrating with the
existing paths tcpdump/setc uses rather than yet again something new
and unique. I think everone who has to actually use the IB stuff in
real life would be estatic if wireshark just worked...

Yes, I realize that is a bit awkward.. But maybe it is time we had a
netdev for the raw IB device?
