Hi Guy,
 
The Ethereal version I use in Windows is the 0.10.10, probably that’s too, as you says and that could be the problem.
I have tipped tethereal –v to see the version:
Tethereal 0.10.11
Compiled with Glib 2.6.4, with libcap 0.8.3 with libz 1.2.2, with libcre 5.0, without UCD-SNMP or Net-SNMP with ADNS.
Running with libpcap version 0.8.3 on linux 2.6.11
 
I want to obtain some statistics of a Wlan-trace, so I installed Knoppix 3.9 on my hard disk to be able to use tethereal. I think the best think I could do is to install another version of tethereal, do you know if there is a tethereal packet, which I could download and install in Knoppix 3.9? Or do you think is it better to remove Knoppix and to install another distribution of Linux? In that case, which one?
 
Another question, maybe you know which command I have to use to display the pacet lenght of every packet? Is it posible with tethereal –z proto,colinfo,frame.pkt_len,frame.pkt_len ?
 
Thank you really for your help.Regards,
 
Débora.

What version of Tethereal are you using? (What does "tethereal -v" print?)

None of the recent releases appear to have that assertion on line 1487
of the epan/proto.c source file, so you might be using an old release.

That message means there's a bug in Ethereal. That bug might have been
fixed in a later release.

If you're running a release earlier than 0.10.14, try installing 0.10.14
(unless you're running Windows, as you might have a problem if your
system is configured with Spanish as its main language and the Spanish
translation of the names for the "Directories and Settings", or whatever
it's called, or "Application Data" have accented letters in them; in
that case, if you're running a release earlier than 0.10.13, try 0.10.13).
