What format does etheral expect a caputre file to be in?  We're thinking
about using etheral for CAN (its a char device, its kinda like multicast
serial), but when I tried to load a caputre file we made, the data parser
didn't seem to be able to read most of the file.  The program we're using
to dump the bus to a file makes 26 byte "packets".  Is it possible to get
etheral to understand this, or would I be better off reinventing the
wheel, and making my own gui?
thanks,
Mike
