No.  Ethereal hasn't yet been made to work with the latest version of
Win32 GTK+ (which is claimed to support 256-color displays), so you can't
use it on any display with less than 16-bit color.

Packetyzer:

might work; it uses the Ethereal dissection core, but has its own
(different) GUI, using native Win32 widgets.
