 what platform?

 The decode of SNMP information has nothing to do with Ethereal, it simply
uses the existing mechanisms currently installed on your machine.

 If you are first able to get the commandline SNMP tools (snmpget, snmpset,
snmpgetnext, snmpwalk, etc.) to display your private mibs, then ethereal
will be able to display them as well.

 Consult the docs (hopefully) provided with your current SNMP tools.
