Correct - it has no idea what to do with a hex dump; for one thing, it
doesn't even know what link-layer types the packets have.

Is that just a stream of packet data, rather than a sequence of hex
dumps of packets? If not, then the text2pcap utility that comes with
Ethereal might be able to convert it to a capture file that Ethereal can
read; if so, you'll have to break it up into packets and then try
converting it.
