Do you think that for convienence it might be better to open based on the file
media type and attempt to open.  For the most part only Wireless captures are
the only ones that are affected by this and can't be viewed at all.  But most
etherenet captures will open fine, it's just that certain special frames for
NetworkInfo, CaptureFilter, and reassembled frames won't display properly.
