I don't see any problem with having lesser functionality on older
platforms.  That doesn't mean Ethereal _fails to run_ on those older
platforms, just that it isn't as easy to use as on newer platforms.  You
don't have to link to iphlpapi.lib, just do the
LoadLibrary()/GetProcAddress() thing on iphlpapi.dll.  If you can load
the library and GetIfEntry() is present, call it.  If not, you haven't
lost anything.
