WIreshark is a passive tool that will provide information about packets on your network. You will need to figure out the requirements, as "analyse the ethernet connection" is too vague. It's possible that they mean "Does the ethernet connection have too many CRC errors?", which is something Wireshark can detect. We will be able to help you when your question is more like "How can I detect X network problem with Wireshark?"
