It depends on what you mean with "no extra stuff". The payload is raw-LAPD but
the capture includes the sockaddr_ll header because the dissector needs to
know the interface's role in order to correctly interpret the C/R flag.
Specifically, both the frame direction (inbound/outbound/sniffed outbound) and
the interface's role are included in the sockaddr_ll header.
It is somewhat like the approach adopted with IrLAP (IrDA) frames.
Then perhaps it should be called DLT_LINUX_LAPD or DLT_VISDN_LAPD or something such as that.
