I have problems to read a capture file which was made by tcpdump from a RM400 
(SINIX V5.43 with MIPS-processor).
I want to read it on my Laptop with Linux and ethereal V0.9.0 because I have 
much more possibilities for diagnosis than with tcpdump on the origin system.
But I'm getting nonsense - ethereal isn't capable to interpret this capture.
It seems to be because of the different architecture 'big-' or 
'little-endian'!?
I tried it to read it as it is, then I tried to convert it by 
'editcap -T atm-rfc1483' but there is no success.
Exists there a solution for my problem?

The command 'file capturefile' gives me the following output:
tcpdump capture file (big-endian) - version 2.1 (RFC 1483 ATM, capture length 
68)

Thank you!!

P.S.: Do you need a sample capture?
