If that's all you can find, the answer to the question is obviously "the
i386 one". :-)

However, there appears to be URLs for an RPM with "i586" and "0.9.9" in
its name if you go to rpmfind.net:

	http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=ethereal

It's a Mandrake Cooker RPM; I don't know whether it requires Mandrake or
not.  I have not checked the URLs to see whether they work.

I do not use any OSes that use RPMs as their native packaging mechanism
(Solaris and W2K at work; NT 4.0, FreeBSD, Debian, Solaris, and MacOS X
at home), and most of the Ethereals that I run are built from current
CVS source in any case, so I can't give any advice on the use of
Ethereal RPMs.
