The WTAP_ENCAP numbers are NOT equal to the PCAP DLT numbers. There is
a mapping between the two in pcap-common.c.
Of course (to reiterate what Chris said) you MUST first get a new PCAP
DLT number from tcpdump-workers OR use one of the "USER" ones. It's
very easy to do and will save everyone a lot of headaches.
