Thanks.

Created PR for libpcap and tcpdump.  Wireshark changes pending.
https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap/pull/803
https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/tcpdump/pull/734

The existing DLTs for IEEE 802.15.4 have versions for FCS, NOFCS,
NONASK_PHY, and LINUX (address fields padded).
The NONASK_PHY includes only fixed preamble bytes, and the FCS/NOFCS
versions support for heuristic match for ZBOSS generated format again with
some fixed fields.  The proposed format attempts to wrap up the different
types into one and provide an extensible TLV format for capture devices to
provide additional meta-data.
