Are you familiar with the patch command? The reason why most people don't proviide instructions for how to do it is because they assume you know what to do with source code patches.
Basically, you download the source to etherreal. You apply the patch while in the ethereal source directory:
cd ethereal-1.xx.xx/
...And then you run patch on it:
patch -n1 < /path/to/patch/file
That patches the source code, then you build the package yourself. You can't really patch a binary package, like an RPM or deb-- you have to do it this way. So, you might want to go ahead and uninstall ethereal, and work on getting it built from source.
