  Bill,

  you are our tcpdump maintainer, aren't you?

  Working with ng_pppoe support for two PPPoE modes I have encountered
a problem, that new version of tcpdump always prints "PPPoE" no matter what
kind of PPPoE it is. This lead me to a confusion and I've spent half an hour
looking for a clue (the older version of tcpdump printed 3Com PPPoE as hex 
values).

 Please take a look at this hack and commit it if possible, or fix it
in other way. Thanks in advance.
