Enough of the background info, here is my issue:
The traffic is initially captured and classified as "Ethernet II" (apparently the default selection when Wireshark can't determine what kind of Ethernet traffic). Although it looks like I can get my dissector to start on the packet after the byte that identifies ethernet type (byte 14) I don't know how to "backtrack" and over rule what the core Wireshark application has already dissected. As you can see from this snipped, my protocol (566F) is still considered "Type : Unkown" even though it just used that information to pass the packet to my plugin. Also there is information in the source and destination MAC addresses that I would like to dissect.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
