Ethereal currently doesn't support that.

If somebody provided a detailed specification of what would be in the CSV
file, it might be implemented at some point; the problem is that there's a
*lot* of information in the decoded packet trace, so a specification such
as "write out the columns of the summary in CSV format" or "let the user
specify a list of named fields, and export the *first* occurrence of each
of those named fields in a packet in CSV format" would be needed.
