No, because its dissector is a "heuristic" dissector - i.e., Ethereal
doesn't recognize iSCSI traffic based on the port number, it recognizes
it based on whether the iSCSI dissector thinks a packet contains iSCSI
traffic or not.

Yes - get a capture that contains iSCSI traffic that the iSCSI dissector
recognizes as such.

If you have a capture with iSCSI traffic that's *not* being dissected as
iSCSI, you'd have to send us the capture (or send Mark Burton, the
author of the iSCSI dissector, the capture) so we (or he) can figure out
why the iSCSI dissector isn't recognizing the traffic as iSCSI.
