Ethereal can't, as previously mentioned. but if you go to
www.freshmeat.net and type packet generator into the search field, you
will find a few. The linux 2.6 kernel also has a module called pktgen.o
(see Documentation/networking/pktgen.txt in the kernel source tree).

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
