Wireshark (that's Ethereal's new name:

        http://www.wireshark.org/faq.html#q1.2

) only dissects Fibre Channel when it's encapsulated with:

        Cisco's special encapsulations of Fibre Channel frames in Ethernet 
frames (for debugging trace purposes);

        CNT's "Cross Point Frame Injector" encapsulation of FC in UDP packets;

        RFC 3821 FCIP;

        T11's proposed Fibre Channel over Ethernet encapsulation.

We don't currently support any encapsulation for "raw" FC frames.

Are you trying to capture a Fibre Channel trace on an FC network (rather 
than an Ethernet or other non-FC network where one of the encapsulations 
listed above are used)?
