    Ariel> 1) What does actually this message mean?
   It meant it was a badly formatted (illegal?) snmp message.
   Ariel> 2) What versions of SNMP protocol are supported by ethereal at
   Ariel>    all?
   SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3
   What about SNMPv2p ( I know its status and the whole slew of issues
   bound to it but I need it indeed)? Any chance of adding it to
   supported protocols
   or is the process of writing plug-ins documented somewhere so that I can
   do it myself?
   Ariel> 3) What could be done in order to get snmp message (and, indeed, snmp
   Ariel> message is being sent that causes this error to appear) to be decoded?
   Can you show us a hex dump?
   Do not know so far.
   With Best Regards
