Sure, I! ;)

http://www.nsnam.org/docs/tutorial/tutorial_23.html#SEC50

explain how you can put the ns-3 in a mode, to output an ns-2 equivalent
format.

The main parts of the trace file is never considered. Anyway, the ns-2 trace
file format delivers all required information and is one standardized file
format. That is the main point here: the simulator is based on a standardized
input format and the ns-2 format is one.

I have had some ideas for a superior format but this is out of range for
today evening! ;)

See /usr/share/manet-visualizer/traces/ns2-new-wireless.tr for a format
example. If you realize some problems you can contact me, I will try to fix
it. ;-)
