Hello,
I just started on adding a support for 802.15.4-2006 standard compliant
packets for libpcap and intend to make it available if 1) I manage to
make it work properly and 2) it is accepted to be part of the codebase
I would however need the advice of more experienced libpcap developers
before continuing my work.
The first problem is that I noticed that the DLT_IEEE802_15_4_LINUX was
just assigned but it is for these packets which have address fields
padded. Should I request for a new DLT value to be assigned?
The second problem is that I have only access to hardware from the
company that I work for (802.15.4 radiochip + MCU on a PCB connected to
PC using RS232). The interface is unique to our devices (although it is
completely open as all of our SW is GPL). The way I understand how the
libpcap works is that this unique interface won't be a problem if I
follow the instructions e.g. in
<URL:http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html/#ChapterCapture>. Does this
sound reasonable?
Best regards,
