dissector plugin

Hello,

i am trying to write a plugin dissector for tinyos packets. I have a couple
of questions with it:

it is a network layer protocol with a simple strucure : AM_type, payload.

The dissector samples have a port number field to associate the dissector
with the incoming packets. Now wireshark cannot grab these packets directly
but i am sending these packets to Wireshark over a pipe. Now what value
shoudl i give for the port number and how does wireshark know when to use
this dissector since
there is not port no field in my packet.

PS: This is a dissector for network layer packet in IEEE 802.15.4 stack.

Complete frame format: FCS | Seq# | Addressing Info |* AM_type | Payload* |
CRC


Thnks,
Vijay
