I've checked in some changes that should fix those bugs - as well as
making it just call the LLC print routine to handle packets with an LLC
header, rather than dissecting the LLC header itself.

Looking at the ATM code in 2.4.9 (not the -ac5 version), it appears
that, in addition to supporting LLC encapsulation, it also supports
"null encapsulation", which I assume is what RFC 1483 calls "VC Based
Multiplexing", where a given virtual circuit carries only traffic for a
particular network-layer protocol, and no header is added to the IP
packet.

Are you using null encapsulation or LLC/SNAP encapsulation?

I think it *might* be possible to make capture filters that check for AA
AA 03 00 00 00, to determine whether null or LLC/SNAP encapsulation is
being used, but I'm not sure it's actually worth the trouble of doing
so, rather than just using "cooked mode", as my patch does.
