No.  "Mobile IP" refers to stuff in RFC 2002 (and its successor RFC
3220), and so on.  That stuff is at the IP layer and above; it doesn't
involve the Mobitex protocol (although if you can run IP atop the
Mobitex protocol, you could presumably run the Mobile IP stuff atop it
as well).

There is no support for the Mobitex protocol in Ethereal, as nobody's
written any code to support it.
