Ummm, I don't use Ethereal for packet capture. Rather, I use tcpdump and
give it higher priority if needed. (Actually, I do use it under Windows
for packet capture, but that is another story).
Any particular reason for using tcpdump rather than tethereal? The latter might be better suited to someone used to ethereal (e.g., default snapshot length is higher, certainly enough to capture full-length Ethernet packets).
