What sort of errors are you interested in?

Ethereal probably won't be able to report link-layer errors, unless 
whatever hardware and capture mechanism Ethereal is using can deliver 
packets with a bad link-layer CRC (most don't).

Packets with IP or TCP/UDP-layer checksum errors will probably be 
captured, and there might be a way to use the I/O graph mechanism, or 
some other such mechanism, in Ethereal to report the rate of checksum 
errors in a capture.
