Great has been lokking for that, and then I had right under my nose.

But I cant get it to sniff. It says it cant find my interface. I've tryed
to copy the long name I use when using ethereal, but that didnt help.
How do I choose interface ?

Yes.

It uses the same dissector modules as Ethereal, but it can:

           capture traffic and print to the standard output the dissected
           packets - either the summary line (like the first pane in
           Ethereal) or the detailed dissection (like the second pane in
           Ethereal);

           capture traffic and save it to a file;

           read a capture file and print to the standard output the
           dissected packets.
