For posterity, I did:

ncat -l 12345 | tshark -r - -w - sll > w

where w is named pipe.

Instead of: ncat -l 12345 | tcpdump -r - -w - [pcap_filter] > w

Your answer leads me to this solution, I needed an upper-level tool.

pcap format can only contain a single link-type, so that's a no-op.
pcapng could contain multiple link-types, but tcpdump doesn't write that.

While wireshark can write pcapng, I don't think it writes multiple link types
to a single file, but of course, you could have concatenated multiple pcapng
files.

I'm not sure what tcpdump would do if it sees that :-)
