So your play field is very limited. That's why I'm thinking about
making an option to choose the desired high level protocol in
socketcan settings.

If the protocol transported atop CAN frames is specified only by out-of-band negotiations (as in "everything in this 
{car,factory floor,hospital room,etc.} all use protocol XXX", i.e. the negotiations take place in a conference room 
rather than over a network :-)), the only way to choose the higher-level protocol might well be to have a user 
provide to Wireshark the results of that negotiation, meaning a preference.

So you agree with me. Then I'll prepare the patch and send it next week.
