If you are using a fixed ethertype, then the ieee1905 dissector
(packet-ieee1905.c) does this:

void
proto_reg_handoff_ieee1905(void)
{
    static dissector_handle_t ieee1905_handle;

    ieee1905_handle = create_dissector_handle(dissect_ieee1905,
                proto_ieee1905);

    dissector_add_uint("ethertype", ETHERTYPE_IEEE_1905, ieee1905_handle);

    eapol_handle = find_dissector("eapol");
}

You can ignore the eapol_handle stuff unless you also plan to use
EAPOL (ieee801.X) in your protocol.
