I'd like to use ethereal to capture a weeks worth of traffic for post analysis.  

I have used sniffer to do the same and can tell it to collect x files of y size.  

Has anyone requested a mod to the ring buffer capability to allow for a straight collection of 500 files of 12MB before?  

I haven't looked at the code yet but I'm hoping I'll be able to massage it into cooperating if there is not a better solution out there. (I can't use sniffer because it will not let me adjust my output file format or the summary) 


Any help would be appreciated!

thanks, Kurt
