Can confirm. Renaming Ethereal to Wireshark involved a bunch of code and documentation updates, registering word and design trademarks across jurisdictions, and in our case we didn't have control over the old domain, so I had to contact a bunch of people linking to ethereal.com and ask them to link to wireshark.org instead. I don't know if the last part would even be possible today.
