Wireshark (that's Ethereal's new name:

	http://www.wireshark.org/faq.html#q1.2

) only dissects Fibre Channel when it's encapsulated with:

	Cisco's special encapsulations of Fibre Channel frames in Ethernet 
frames (for debugging trace purposes);

	CNT's "Cross Point Frame Injector" encapsulation of FC in UDP packets;

	RFC 3821 FCIP;

	T11's proposed Fibre Channel over Ethernet encapsulation.

We don't currently support any encapsulation for "raw" FC frames.

Are you trying to capture a Fibre Channel trace on an FC network (rather 
than an Ethernet or other non-FC network where one of the encapsulations 
listed above are used)?
