Hi Peter,
Hope you're not building Wireshark on account of my suggestion.  It's an 
ethernet snooping program, so just run it on any old Windoze or Linux box 
attached to the same ethernet network ...

Since it relies on putting the card into promiscuous mode, and since the 
various ethernet options open to the average user may not have that facility, 
IMHO it's probably not a good investment of someone's time to port it to MiNT.

Roger
