There are two issues here:
1. Redhat has in the past distributed two RPMs for ethereal: "ethereal" and
"ethereal-GUI". You should probably install both. "ethereal" contains
tethereal (The command line based ethereal) and "ethereal-GIU" contains
ethereal.
2. In my experience (with Mandrake 9.x) no Linux install ever creates an
icon either on the menus or the desktop. One reason for this is that there
are so many different desktop managers about. You should be able to get
tethereal/ethereal up by typing "tethereal" or "ethereal" at a command
prompt. If that works then you should be able to create the icon and menu
entry yourself. (IIRC in KDE it's rightclick->Create New->Link To
Application)
