Or just start snort in capture mode - 

        snort -avd

:)  I found snort initially because it was a much more readable
packet sniffer than tcpdump format.  I got hooked on it's IDS
capabilities, but still use it for capture all the time... though
tethereal is nifty for it's higher layer analysis capabilites.
