In packet-ip.c the mobile IP dissector has the message:

Unknown type(%u)!  I hope the length is right (%u)

This message is displayed for any unknown extension type. It is somewhat
misleading because as long as the packet is wellformed additional extensions
will be correctly ignored. Would anyone object if I remove the message?

Alternatively the text could be changed to something like:

Mobile IP unknown extension type (%u)

So that users can make a better decision about whether the message can be
ignored.
