But in this case, wiretap isn't supplying any new information as far as I can tell.  To me, it looks like the only 
differences between what is displayed in the "packet details" pane and the content available in the pcap_usb_header

displayed or appears to be incorrectly displayed.

Yes, but none of that contradicts what I said before, so I'm not sure why "But" is the first word there.

There are two issues here:

        1) What about the Wireshark code path causes it to do what it's doing?

        2) Should it be doing that?

I've mainly been addressing issue 1); what I've said about issue 2) was largely stuff such as

Whether that's a *good* reason is another matter.

and

Again, whether that's the right thing to do is another matter.

so I'm *not* defending Wireshark's current behavior, I'm just noting that it *is* the current behavior.
