Wireshark

Max, correct me if I'm wrong but tcpdump will only give you the headers, is that correct? This is fine most of the time but sometimes I need to capture full frames.

What's wrong with tcpdump(8)?  Other than that building either the real or 
the -lite version with "WITHOUT_X11" defined will get you the 
cli-version.  "-lite" seems to just disable a couple of dissectors that 
have a lot of external dependencies.
