 Hi,
 
 My problem is to merge two files of different link layer types.
 
 I tried merging 2 pcap files of same link type into a pcap file and
 it succeeded.
 But when i try to merge 2 pcapng files of same link type into a pcapng
 file i got the error *Wireshark can't save this capture in that format.*
 
 Could some one please tell why the above error occurs? Also does
 mergecap has support for pcapng file format ?

You need to manually specify an encapsulation type. See:

Thanks a lot. the command line tool works,
but is it possible to merge the pcapng files from the GNU *merge *option
under File tab??

Assuming that you are talking about Wireshark's File/Merge:
no, it still doesn't appear to allow pcapng file merging
(as of rev 40759).
