Sure ... debug the issue, fix it, submit a patch. You'll probably need
deep knowledge of GPRS RLC/MAC layers to do that properly.

I do it for sure, if I am able to.

I'm not even sure they do.

The code is more of a "demo" than a complete system, a lot is missing
to properly decode everything (for, it just "guesses" the GPRS channel
from a single assignement and then listen on all timeslot of that,
which mostly a short cut to grab stuff, proving it's possible but not
that much more, unless the cell has only 1 GPRS arfcn).


It would be nice to have a result like their 

http://srlabs.de/dl/gprs_262_80_0001_0000_20110710_2252_875_514147_0f.dat

where I can find reconstructed HTTP sessions.
 
Also since it only support GPRS and not EDGE you can pretty easily
miss stuff ...


That's an interesting point I can check...
