And it effectively works! The following issue is that I am unable to read the capture as [t]ethereal complain(s) about an invalid file format. The 1st time I capture Ethereal complains about the capture file format, and I can only see one packet invariably dissected as LLC. A second capture (with the same Ethereal instance) succeeds and dissection too. Regards, Olivier
