Because there's a problem in the version of libpcap you've installed, or
in the packet capture mechanism (BPF or DLPI, I don't know which that'd
be) it uses?

You might try downloading libpcap 0.6.2 source from

	http://www.tcpdump.org/

and compiling and installing that, and then download Ethereal source
from

	http://www.ethereal.com/download.html#sources

and recompiling Ethereal; make sure it's linked with libpcap 0.6.2
("ethereal -v" should report that it is), and then try it.
