That means the nettl record read has a subsystem type Ethereal
(wiretap/nettl.h) doesn't support.  What driver/interface are you tracing?
 Are you using '-e all' or a specific subsystem on your nettl command?

I have been updating nettl support and the upcoming release will support
iether, FDDI (PCI only), and Token Ring interfaces.  Please send the
output from:

  netfmt -sf nettl_file

This will tell us the subsystems contained in the file...
