Hi,
I'm using Tethereal/Ethereal in conjuction with an application that places RF packets in Ethernet frames. I can see the hex frames with Tethereal/Ethereal, however the frames are cut off because Ethereal interprets the Ethernet length field (bytes 13&14) as the actual length field and cuts off most of my data. Is there any way to make Ethereal ignore the Ethernet length field and print out all the data it receives ? 

Thanks,
Jeff Riddel
