The GPL isn't a problem, if we're using something that's GPL'd I think that
we should help improve it we can.
The the dissector is far from supporting all "features" of the protocoll,
but all common parts have been implemented. What I would like, is to get
this dissector into the next release, so if someone interested can start
using it. Are you getting close to a release?
Should I supply a patch as soon as possible so all of you can have a look at
it, and I can make changes according to you're recomendations? I'm not sure
how strict you're are about the coding convention, we have tried to follow
the recomendations.

Yes, but note, Ethereal is GPL'd, so the code you provide must be under a
compatible license, which usually means GPL.
If you can post patches between what you have and a pristine 0.9.12 tree,
we can most likely add it for you.
Something like this will generate a patch for us:
diff -uNr my-source-tree ethereal-0.9.12
Hopefully you modified Makefile.am etc, but if not, we can figure it out.
Also, sending us a sample capture file would be good as well.
Thanks for your offer.
