I'm capturing traffic using tcpdump (with the -w option) on an AIX
system.  The files read into Ethereal fine, but every packet shows
up as "TR MAC" in the protocol column and "Report Monitor Errors" in
the Info column.  This is seen on both a Win32 as well as Solaris
version of Ethereal, so I suspect it is anAIX-related problem.  I
can dump the tcpdump file to text using 'tcpdump -r <filename>', and
I see what I expect to see...mostly TCP/IP and UDP packets.

Any idea as to what may be going on or what I may have f---ed up?

Thanks, in advance.
