I wonder if Ethereal could show the unix timestamp of
the  packets (sometimes i would find it helpfull if
not just the arrival times would be presented),

What do you mean by "show the UNIX timestamp"?

Do you mean "show the time stamp as raw 'seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT' and microseconds since that second values?", along the lines of what you get from "tcpdump -tt"?

Or do you mean "show the date and time, not just the time"?

There is no mechanism for doing the first of those. You'd have to add that as an option to the "Time Display Format" submenu of the "View" menu.

To do the second, select "Date and Time of Day" from that menu.
