Re: [Ethereal-dev] new tap for mgcp

[Lars Roland <Lars.Roland@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have attached patches to docu and to my name in authors. please check in.

there is still a small problem at least on windows.
when using "-z mgcp,rtd" , the calculation is NOT performed.
when using "-z mgcp,rtd," or "-z mgcp,rtd,filter" instead, everything is 
well done.
does anyone have suggestions?

As Tomas Kukosa mentioned, there are some issues, we have to think 
about, when using tap-listeners with plugins. There is critical point, 
when someone invokes the tap-routine and the plugin is not present, i.e. 
ethereal was installed without plugins.

at the moment, tethereal just say "tap not found" and exits. and that is 
 already ok. For the gtk version, we will need probably some error 
handling or we should hide the menu item for that function, if that is 
possible.

Best Regards,
Lars Roland
