Yes, in the Wireshark changes that we'll submit it is possible to select the protocol being used on I2C bus via a configuration option. Currently, there are only two possible choices: "raw data" (which is not interpreted at all, just shown in hexadecimal format) and "IPMB". > And can the capture utility be used to capture other types of > traffic?

If you think that choosing the type of protocol in reading application is not enough - well, let's call it DLT_IPMB_LINUX; we'll add the ability to select the DLT_ value in the capture utility.
