At least in NetMon 1.x, the ".adr" file uses numerical values for the
address type.

It also appears that it distinguishes between Ethernet, Token Ring, and
FDDI addresses.

Ethereal does not make any such distinction, and has address types *not*
supported by NetMon's ".adr" format, so you might, instead, want to have
a different format - I'd suggest using names rather than numerical
values for the address type.
