hi,

is it possible to make Ethereal capture data on an interface which 
has only IPv6 address assigned?

In FreeBSD (4.1.1) and in NetBSD (1.5ALPHA2) I get the following 
error message (Ethereal 0.8.13):

   "Can't use filter: Couldn't obtain netmask info 
    (ex0: no IPv4 address assigned)."

In Linux (2.4.0-test9) the only interface listed in Capture Preferences 
is lo which has its 127.0.0.1 address in addition to IPv6 address.

regards,
