Get latest epan/dissectors/packet-dhcpv6.c from SVN
(http://anonsvn.ethereal.com/viewcvs/viewcvs.py/trunk/epan/dissectors/packet-dhcpv6.c?rev=11756)

You'll need to modify source code to make ethereal decode those options.
If you're new to this, read doc/README.developer first
(http://anonsvn.ethereal.com/viewcvs/viewcvs.py/trunk/doc/README.developer?rev=11779)
