One possibility might be to have the packet list be a "tree view" widget 
rather than a "list view" widget; if a given link-layer packet has data 
from more than one higher-level packet in it, the top-level row for the 
packet might be a summary of all the higher-level packets, and if you 
open it up you'd see the individual summary lines for each of the packets.
