Ethereal won't naturally detect these packets as WAP as neither the source nor
destination ports are in the 9200-9203 range. However, if you right-click on
packet 6 and select "Decode as..." from the pop-up menu, then click the
transport tab and select "destination (49200)". Finally select WTP as the
protocol in the right-hand list of possible dissectors.

This will apply the WTP dissector to the remaining packets in the capture.

I'll need to have a look at this one though - I haven't seen this port being
used for WAP traffic before...

Thanks for the capture though, there's some new headers in there I haven't
implemented the decoding for yet so I'll work on those :)

Cheers,
  Neil
