Hi!

I've just committed some recent improvements of the Abis dissection of
wireshark to git.

There's some initial work on a 12.21 OML decoder in
epan/dissectors/packet-abis_oml.c.  It will happily decode the common FOM
header and tell you the name of the message as well as list all attributes
in it.  It does not yet understand details on how to parse all the various
attributes.  If anyone wants to make himself familiar with this part of
GSM, get a copy of 12.21, look at OpenBSC or protocol traces and add
more of that attribute parsing code!

The A-bis/IP dissector has only been improved slightly.

If you apply abisip.patch and abis_oml.patch to current wireshark svn,
you will be able to decode 94-99% of what you see in any capture between
OpenBSC and a nanoBTS.

I currently don't have access to a BS-11, so I cannot test the wireshark
code with it.  In case somebody wants to send me some pcap files of BS-11
traces, either by using the openbsc pcap option or by tracing it through mISDN,
I'm more than happy to make sure that it works on thos traces, too.

Testing as well as contributed patches are also always welcome!

Thanks,
