Well, if the interface was a Token Ring interface, for example, perhaps
Correct Stuff would happen if you ran text2pcap with "-l 6" to tell
text2pcap to mark the output file as a Token Ring capture rather than an
Ethernet capture.

There may be other interface types for which that can be made to work
(e.g., FDDI, with "-l 10"); WAN interfaces might be trickier, as I don't
know whether the header would be a PPP header or would include
WAN-type-specific headers.
