0.10.14 installs WinPcap; did rolling back the Ethereal release also 
change the installed version of WinPcap?

The capture part is done by libpcap/WinPcap, not by Ethereal.  Ethereal 
just calls "pcap_open_live()" to open a device for capturing and 
"pcap_dispatch()" to read packets from the device.

If you capture a trace with 0.10.13, and then display it in 0.10.14, do 
the VLAN tags appear?  If so, then it's a capture issue (as I suspect is 
the case - we haven't changed the VLAN dissector in a while, as far as I 
know).
