Only Abjuration spells can extend from Material plane to Ethereal plane (not vice versa). For example, Dispel Magic or Mordenkainen Disjunction can affect ethereal caster.

From the (SRD (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#etherealness)) description of the Etherealness ability A force effect originating on the Material Plane extends onto the Ethereal Plane, so that a wall of force blocks an ethereal creature, and a magic missile can strike one (provided the spellcaster can see the ethereal target). Gaze effects and abjurations also extend from the Material Plane to the Ethereal Plane. None of these effects extend from the Ethereal Plane to the Material Plane.
