Yes, but note, Ethereal is GPL'd, so the code you provide must be under a 
compatible license, which usually means GPL.

If you can post patches between what you have and a pristine 0.9.12 tree, 
we can most likely add it for you.

Something like this will generate a patch for us:

  diff -uNr my-source-tree ethereal-0.9.12

Hopefully you modified Makefile.am etc, but if not, we can figure it out.

Also, sending us a sample capture file would be good as well.

Thanks for your offer.
