Download the Ethereal source (which you'll need in order to add a protocol to Ethereal), and then read the "README.developer" file in the "doc" directory. > I have Five(5) Alphas Using an application called GXNPLX which uses an > etherenet multicast protocol.

Using Ethereal the captured packet are shown as "unknown". For protocols that run directly atop Ethernet, the "dissector_add()" call would use "ethertype" as the name of the table to which to add an entry for the protocol, and the Ethernet type value as the ID value.
