To which SNMP SDK are you referring?

Ethereal uses SNMP libraries only as a way of reading MIB files and
getting information about the objects to which an OID refers; it doesn't
implement the SNMP protocol itself.

The SNMP libraries I know of are:

    the CMU SNMP library:

	http://www.net.cmu.edu/groups/netdev/software.html

    the NET-SNMP library (which used to be called the UCD SNMP library):

	http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/

You should check those Web sites out to see which of those libraries, if
any, support SNMPv3.

Again, check out those Web sites.
