Hi,

Hmmm, a little experimentation, producing a Null capture with my little
program shows me that Ethereal already understands a capture file that
starts with

   0xFF000800 

as long as it is set as a NULL ENCAP type in the Wiretap file ...

Hmmm, I wonder if I only need a flag to force Ethereal to treat the
contents of a file as NULL ..., like -N ...

Regards
