[Ethereal-users] Capturing frames greater than 1500 bytes

Title: Capturing frames greater than 1500 bytes

Hello,

        We have developed a custom application over ethernet link where we have only two nodes on the network transferring data between each other. The application uses frame sizes upto 4096 bytes in one ethernet frame. This is possible because the MAC engine allows us to communicate with that frame size. We are using ethereal for capturing the frames less than 1500 bytes in size, but as soon as the frame size exceeds 1500 bytes, we cant receive frames any more.

        Please suggest us how we can configure / modify ethereal for receiving frames greater than 1500 bytes ?

Thanks & Regards,
