When a pcap file is openned in Network Monitor we give the user the ability to
save the file in the Network Monitor file format.  To accomdate the pcap media
extended types, we add 0xE000 to the base media type and use this as the per
frame media type (see bug 4223).

So for instance the attached capture talk_bzip2_file_transfer.pcap has been
opened and saved as ConvertedCooked.cap.  In ConvertedCooked.cap, the per frame
media type is now 0xE071.  

When you attempt to open this capture file, it uses the overall media type
which is ethernet and does not interpet the capture correctly.

Incendently, even manually modifying the pcap file type to 0x71 does not
resolve the issue either.
