Sigh.  I guess the bottommost bit is shown first because it's the first bit 
transmitted, which probably makes sense to hardware people; I guess we software 
people who usually see the high-order bit shown first just have to remember 
that IEEE standards do things differently.

In any case, I've assigned 240 as 
DLT_ETHERNET_HILSCHER/LINKTYPE_ETHERNET_HILSCHER, for non-transparent packets 
(with the 4-byte pseudo-header before the Ethernet header, but without the 
preamble or SFD), and 241 as 
DLT_ETHERNET_HILSCHER_TRANSPARENT/LINKTYPE_ETHERNET_HILSCHER_TRANSPARENT, for 
transparent packets (with the 4-byte pseudo-header followed by the 7-byte 
preamble, followed by the 1-byte SFD, followed by the Ethernet header), and 
checked that, including filter support, into the libpcap trunk and 1.2 branch.

(That's 11110000 and 11110001, not 00001111 and 10001111. :-) :-) :-))

I'll add tcpdump support for printing those packets (it'll ignore the 
pseudo-header and, for DLT_ETHERNET_HILSCHER_TRANSPARENT, the preamble and 
SFD), and add the two new link-layer types to

        http://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes.html

along with a page containing your description of the pseudo-header (but I'll 
leave the "transparent" bit out, as that's indicated by the link-layer header 
type).-
