Ethereal supports what the hardware and packet capture mechanism it uses 
support.
I'm using Ethereal version 0.10.14 with a DELL D810 which has a Broadcom
NetXtreme 57xx Gigibit Controller. On the remote side I have a TRENDNet
TEG-PCITXR 32-bit 10/100/1000Mb PCMCIA card.

I have configured the TRENDNet for Jumbo Frames.
Does the NetXtreme and its driver support jumbo frames?  If so, do you 
have to configure it to support them?  If so, have you configured it to 
support them?
