[Ethereal-users] optical splitter?

I have just come across the ethereal web page, and I would appreciate it
if someone could tell me if it will work when sniffing is done via a
an optical splitter (we're talking GE over fiber, of course). 

This means that you have two network interface, and you have to merge the
RX lines from each.

Is ethereal capable of doing this? Could someone perhaps suggest another
analyzer that does it?

The environment is probably FreeBSD with alteon GE cards (if that
metters).

Thanks!
