What "ethereal.gz" file? Do you mean the "ethereal-0.9.1.tar.gz" file?
That unzips just fine with "gzip -d" or "gunzip".

What does "file ethereal.gz" show? Perhaps your browser, or whatever
you used to transfer the file, saved the wrong thing. Or, if you're using
FTP, perhaps you forget to set BINARY mode in ftp.  How big is the
file? The "ethereal-0.9.1.tar.gz" file is 2756335 bytes.
