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?
