Although it would be useful _now_ if you are reading AIX iptrace files
via wiretap in ethereal. iptrace supports multiple interfaces in the
same capture file.

I'd have to add a way for wiretap to pass back the interface name
to ethereal. But I doubt many people are using ethereal to read iptrace files.
