With 0.6.2, you had to compile in the wiretap library in order to read
non-pcap traces. See the README to learn how to do that. With wiretap,
Ethereal will auto-recognize the file format when you open it; there's
no need to tell Ethereal that the file is iptrace or netmon or whatever.
However, doing that pretty much disables any display filtering capability
because at that point we were either using display filters from libpcap, or
from wiretap. And wiretap just doens't have much [yet] in the way of filters.
I sugest you move to 0.7.2. Since 0.7.0, we *always* compile in wiretap,
which lets you read many file formats. We do this because display filters
have now been made independent of the file-reading library; they are now
inside ethereal.
