text2pcap.exe should be in your ethereal install directory. It works
perfectly for Ethernet text. However I cannot get Token ring text to be
reimported.
>From net/bpf.h:
#define DLT_EN10MB 1 /* Ethernet (10Mb) */
#define DLT_PRONET 4 /* Proteon ProNET Token Ring */
So I assume that text2pcap -l 4 should import token ring.
D:>tethereal -x -r trace.dmp | perl -ne "print if /^[0-9A-Fa-f]\d{4} /" >
trace.txt
D:>text2pcap -l 4 trace.txt trace2.dmp
Input from: trace.txt
Output to: trace2.dmp
Wrote packet of 62 bytes
Wrote packet of 160 bytes
<snip>
Read 23 potential packets, wrote 23 packets
D:\>tethereal -r trace2.dmp
Message: pcap: network type 4 unknown or unsupported
tethereal: The file "trace2.dmp" is a capture for a network type that
Tethereal doesn't support.
Does anyone have an ideas what's going here?
