We probably should.

I've added a NetworkTroubleshooting page, referred to from the top-level 
Wiki page (under General, for now - perhaps it belongs somewhere else on 
that page), which currently doesn't have anything on it other than 
indications of what should go there.

People (this means "Ethereal users", not just "the main Ethereal 
developers"; that's the nice thing about a Wiki...) should put 
information such as indications that a flood of ARPs could be a virus 
(perhaps linking to information about viruses that do that) on pages 
referred to by that page, with a quick summary on the 
NetworkTroubleshooting page.  Perhaps other pages could link to it, e.g. 
the ARP page could mention viruses whose signature is a blast of ARPs to 
find machines.
