The problem here is that libpcap/WinPcap - and the kernel mechanisms atop which
they run - don't decrypt WEP/WPA/WPA2 packets received promiscuously/in monitor
mode, so they can't filter on any of the encrypted part of the payload; in
order to implement this, the filtering would have to be done after decryption,
which means "not in *pcap".
