The short answer would be "No" (repeat as required.)
The closest thing to what you want is "File Size" with "Use Ring Buffer" and
"Number of Files"
Ethereal will open a new file when the current one reaches the specified
size. When the maximum number of files has been used it starts at the first
one again.
This is effectively a wrapping buffer, but when it opens a file it deletes
the existing contents, so this is not quite the functionality that you were
expecting.
(IIRC) This fuctionality exists only in 0.9.0 onwards.

Subject: [Ethereal-users] help
I have rolled out an initial sample of Ethereal Analyzers and am in the
middle of an issue. Can someone tell me how to make the Buffer wrap to a
given buffer size?
does it happen by default and is the Capture Length where I set the wrapped
file size. I wouldn't ask the list if I wasn't stuck in a wire closet with
LOTS of users having an issue
