There is no 68-packet limit in Ethereal.  It can handle more than 68
packets in a capture.

If you mean the 68-byte minimum packet size limit when capturing, you
change it by modifying libpcap to support a snapshot length less than 68
bytes, and arranging that the version of Ethereal you're running run with
the modified version of libpcap.
