This is something that's very confusing. Ethereal used to have only
one type of plugin, which was configurable via Tools|Plugins. Now
plugins can register themselves to the core ethereal routines in
2 way (maybe more... can someone clarify this for me?). Both
the gryphon and the MGCP plugins register themselves with the
core ethereal routines in the non-traditional way.

If you go to Edit|Protocols, both "gryphon" and "mgcp" should be
enabled. Ethereal found them and enabled them automatically, unlike
old-style plugins.
