LIke I've said before, if the file you're reading is an hex-dump text
file, then your easiest option is to try to convert it to a pcap file
using text2pcap, a program that comes with ethereal. text2pcap has a
lot of options, but if the hexdump format cannot be read by text2pcap,
another option is to write a small program to convert your hexdump
format to a format that *is* readable by text2pcap. I did this for a
netscreen hexdump file... see tools/netscreen2dump.py in the ethereal
SVN repository ( I don't think it's in 0.10.7)
