What exactly do you mean by not recognizing the binding messages? I
successfully run ethereal 0.10.3 on mobile IP captures and it showed
binding messages. There was a bug in the dissector causing tethereal to
crash when outputting PDML, but I don't think that's your problem. In
any case, you might want to recompile ethereal from source, with the
attached patch applied.
