Most likely Ethereal doesn't has support for the Bidir-capable Hello
option. If you are using an older version of Ethereal check whether
the latest release supports it. If no, then you can add the support
for it and send the patch to the Ethereal folks.

Alternatively, I believe that recent versions of tcpdump have
support for that option, so if you can live without GUI then you can
use tcpdump instead.
