Hello all,

I attempted to read a packet trace taken on AIX using iptrace today and I got
this error when I loaded the trace into Ethereal:

The capture file has a packet with a network type that Ethereal doesn't
support.  (iptrace: interface type IFT=0x01 unknown or unsupported)

The interface is a virtual interface, no physical layer under it.  I am hoping
to write a dissector but it would be nice to be able to read the other packets
in the trace in the mean time.

Cheers,
Bryan
