I don't think so, In case you want to take a look at Cisco CAPWAP vs. RFC CAPWAP you may want to look at the Wireshark source for the CAPWAP dissector and search for "cisco" (case insensitive search). http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/trunk/epan/dissectors/packet-capwap.c Ciao Jörg -- Joerg Mayer <jma...@loplof.de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.
