Here is a thought, but it does not handle everything. Each new version of the Wi-Fi spec (which is now around 4000+ pages in size) introduces new IEs and new this and new that. Currently, IEs are handled via a dissector table but extended IEs are not handled via a dissector table and Categories are not handled via a dissector table. If more of these sort of things were handled via dissector tables, then we could separate the Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 99 additions into separate files, for the most part. Perhaps we would need a mechanism for Wi-Fi X+1 to override some parts of Wi-Fi X as well, but I have no idea how to handle that for the moment. -- Regards, Richard Sharpe (何以解憂？唯有杜康。--曹操)(传说杜康是酒的发明者) ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev@wireshark.org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
