If you have the entire packet in hex data, write a short program
to parse the hex, stuff it into a datagram, and send it back out on
a network interface, like a loopback or to a non-routable destination
IP. Sniff the interface with tcpdump/Ethereal, and now you can get it
parsed.
Ethereal ships with a text2pcap utility which was designed exactly for that:
"Generate a capture file from an ASCII hexdump of packets".
