Include a dummy Ethernet header before each packet. Specify the L3PID
for the Ethernet header in hex. Use this option if your dump is an IP
packet with IP header and payload, but no Layer 2
encapsulation. Example: I<-e 0x806> to specify an ARP packet.
for the Ethernet header in hex. Use this option if your dump has Layer
3 header and payload (e.g. IP header), but no Layer 2

For IP packets, instead of generating a fake Ethernet header you can
also use I<-l 12> to indicate a raw IP packet to Ethereal. Note that
I<-l 12> does not work for any non-IP Layer 3 packet (e.g. ARP),
whereas generating a dummy Ethernet header with I<-e> works for any
sort of L3 packet.
