Maybe I'm missing something, but looks like the only place with
significantly more coverage in tcpdump is in the handling of rx ack
packets. Looks like in the other places, ethereal has more decoding. 

Are you talking about a different tcpdump than cvs on tcpdump.org? (i.e.
are you still maintaining your own local patches?)
