Here is, what the Ethereal FAQ (http://www.ethereal.com/faq#q1.3) says on
this topic:

    Q 1.3: Are there any plans to support {your favorite protocol}?

     A: Support for particular protocols is added to Ethereal as a result of
        people contributing that support; no formal plans for adding support
        for particular protocols in particular future releases exist.

So unless someone with an interest in that protocol actually collects the
information needed to implement it and either implements it himself or finds
someone to implement it for him, the answer is no.

I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know
what proactive means.
