In my experience, tcpdump is good for capturing packets and basic
analysis, but ethereal kicks ass for anything beyond basic "did I get an
ack?" stuff. The display filters and packet disassembly really make a
difference.
In an embedded environment, I usually capture with tcpdump (-s 0) and
analyze the results on a workstation with ethereal.
