If libpcap/WinPcap on your system handles it, Ethereal can handle it - Ethereal doesn't impose a maximum size on Ethernet packets. (It can't handle 802.3+802.2 packets that are that large, but neither can 802.3 - the length field in an 802.3 packet can't be larger than 1500, otherwise it's interpreted as a type field, and that's part of the 802.3 specification, it's not an Ethereal quirk.) I don't know whether libpcap/WinPcap, and the underlying OS mechanisms it uses, can handle jumbo frames on any particular platforms; I would, however, be somewhat surprised if there were any platform on which it *can't* handle them.
