I have four ports on a Sun Gigaswift card trunked together with Sun Trunking software- ce6, ce7, ce8 and ce9. How do I use Ethereal to look at the packets? I only get the choice of ce6 under the “Capture->Interfaces” menu, which is the trunk head. When I capture packets I’m not seeing the stuff on the other interfaces. 

Can you see traffic on all the interfaces with snoop?
If no, you probably won't be able to do it with Ethereal, or any other libpcap-based application, either. Ethereal is completely dependent on libpcap for packet capture, and libpcap is completely dependent on what the OS lets you do.
